    This is amazing. December 2020. As late as this April, people—including Dr. Fauci—thought 18 months was probably too optimistic a timeline for vaccines. And we’d have been thrilled with ones much less efficacious than these. And multiple ones are in the pipeline. It is a triumph.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1337582860908326912 …

        I wrote about the Chinese scientist who kick-started it all by publishing the SARS-CoV-2 sequence in an open repository on January 10th—without waiting for authorization. Two days later, Moderna had the vaccine. Just ten months later, we have a vaccine. https://zeynep.substack.com/p/the-pandemic-heroes-who-gave-us-the …

        Minutes ago, trucks filled with #coronavirus vaccines departed the @pfizer facility in Portage, Mich., headed for distribution centers and airports. Crowds who gathered outside the facility cheered the departing @FedEx and @UPS trucks. https://bit.ly/3gHr1oV  pic.twitter.com/ZsTG2h5vJI

        Its still likely this vaccine won't be widely distributed until spring, so he's not wrong. Its also MUCH smarter to under-promise and over-deliver. Wish our Prez knew that.

        Hopefully my country can get some dosages next year, since the wealthier nations are getting them first.

        BREAKING—the Pfizer #COVID19 vaccine is now approved in the US. But let’s not forget Dr Katalin Karikó, the pioneer Hungarian-American immigrant scientist who persevered for 40 years to bring mRNA to the 🌍. She will for sure win the Nobel Prize someday. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/11/health/pfizer-vaccine-authorized.html … pic.twitter.com/bBvswdS0Hb
