Big Smile, No Teeth: Trust in the science of the Covid-19 vaccine!


When the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNtech vaccines are approved, the world's most widespread vaccination programme, involving billions of doses, will take off – be prepared for a logistical nightmare. — AFP

Could the first steps to ending the Covid-19 pandemic be in sight?

During the week beginning Nov 15, 2020, an avalanche of vaccine news seems to have come out.

First Pfizer, the same folks that rescued limp male genitalia everywhere with those little blue pills, announced that they were coming to rescue the world from Covid-19 with a new vaccine that is – as at Nov 19, 2020 – 95% effective in experimental trials. Pfizer has partnered with BioNtech on the vaccine. Not to be outdone, Moderna then dropped the news that it had also developed a vaccine, one with 94.5% effectiveness. These results come after Pfizer/BioNtech tested more than 43,000 people and Moderna tested 30,000.
