      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

          Biden said, when Americans are together, they can do amazing things...# create & roll out a vaccine in less than a year. Divided they fall ..... together they stand 🇺🇸

          They really need to stop talking about trucks leaving facilities with vaccines...for the safety of the drivers and safe delivery of the vaccine. I deliver sensitive freight for the govt. They never announce what I'm hauling. That would be stupid.

          The answer lies in the "Trump is My President" flag waving in the video. There is no thought for the safety of the vaccine nor of the drivers delivering them. Just one thing matters to them. And it has never been the well-being of the American people.

          Someday I’d love to hear from these drivers - I wonder what that’s like!The drivers I’ve known aren’t usually emotionally invested in their freight, but I wonder if this hits different. Security, too.

          Yes, it is totally amazing ... watching Pfizer ship to Canada ... Pfizer vaccine was rolled out in the UK a few days ago ... CDC still has not approved the vaccine for use in the U.S. ...
