As President Trump pushes for a coronavirus vaccine before the November election, one major vaccine trial has been halted after a participant developed symptoms of a “potentially unexplained illness.” After the British participant became sick, AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford paused human trials to evaluate whether the person’s condition could be related to the vaccine.
Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease specialist, told CBS the that the pause was an “unfortunate” but not uncommon “safety valve.
================================================================================
This reaction could be as simple as an allergic response to one of the vaccine's components.
Just wondering, shouldn't ALL Americans for that matter all people throughout the world hope for a vaccine sooner rather than later???
I find it perverse folks hope for a delay. I doubt we will have an approved vaccine before the election. Even if we did, I can't see how this would factor into how someone would vote.

I hope they have a vaccine by October. But not enough to cut corners.
I think you have it wrong; people don’t want some slap dash, rushed to market before the election to score points, not fully understanding what the efficacy is. Sorry for the run on sentence...

How many times are you going to post about this subject? Spinning again?
This is what Trump said:
We are delivering lifesaving therapies, and will produce a vaccine before the end of the year, or maybe even sooner!” Trump said from the south lawn of the White House. “We will defeat the virus, end the pandemic, and emerge stronger than ever before.”
But given the timelines put forward by Pfizer and BioNTech in particular, investors widely expect a Covid-19 vaccine authorization to be possible by the end of the year, depending on the outcome of the ongoing trials.

Agree. That is why I doubt it can happen that quickly. Time is needed to check for adverse reactions and how long the vaccine is effective.
I have faith in the FDA.
Maybe it will take 4 years like the Obama Ebola antivirus.

Let's not forget this is only one of many trialing vaccines, only one specific trial, only one person, and the issue is unknown & undefined. Pausing a trial is not highly unusual. We shall have to see.https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/09/09/coronavirus-covid-live-updates-us/

Exactly. The single individual's problem may be completely unrelated to the vaccine.testing should pause when there's a potentially adverse result. that means that their quality system is working as it is designed to work. the next step would be to study the adverse result and hopefully determine its cause. this gives me more confidence in an eventual vaccine, not less.

Quite a few here have respond with substantive rationale as to why this may be a valid objective pause in the trial.

You failed to recognize that the person who started this thread and to whom I addressed my response did NOT reply.
So could be I just called out a partisan,while you defend the OP. Clearly your choice.
Just to be clear. I find the political finger pointing by BOTH sides repugnant when talking about a deadly virus.
