Calm down, no need for big fonts.
Let's suppose that out of nowhere, a vaccine were discovered tomorrow. Perfectly safe, near-certain guarantee that with it, you won't get COVID-19.
Fun fact: It will take months, maybe years, to get that vaccine from R&D to the masses. You have to set up the assembly lines for mass production, which takes a long time, and then you have to arrange the distribution to hundreds of millions. Maybe in trumpland that happens by magic before the election, but in the real world that takes a long time.
We will be lucky if we get the injection in 2021. 2022 seems like a better prediction.
It appears that the reasonable time line would be that the vaccine would be available around September 2021 (with universal distribution some time after that).
It appears that the optimistic time line would be that the vaccine would be available around June 2021 (with universal distribution some time after that)..
It appears that the "Claque Trump" time line is that the vaccine will be available (and universally distributed) before 03 NOV 20.
It appears that Mr. Trump's time line is that the vaccine will have been available, have been universally distributed, and have totally wiped out COVID-19 "whenever I say so".
