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.

These results come after Pfizer/BioNtech tested more than 43,000 people and Moderna tested 30,000.
