I thought for a second this dude was actually reporting good news. Then the usual happened there at the end.
IF it works, that's great. We'll see, but I'm hoping that we can develop a functional vaccine quickly. That's what will start to allow us to get a cap on all this.
AFAIK, this vaccine is untested as it is still in development. And as we just discussed, the virus could mutate by next year to make this vaccine less effective.
It kind of doesn’t matter if there’s a vaccine next year if Trump is still President: the Federal Government is going to botch the rollout so badly that most segments of the country will be unvaccinated months after the vaccine has been mass produced and made available to the public.

If Trump wins I'd expect many liberals to not be around anymore for a variety of reasons. There will be less hosts for the virus to attach too.
Exactly! Having an effective base vaccine makes it easier to tweak it for mutations (generally speaking).True, but it would be a good start, and if there is an effective vaccine against Covid then that gives us a good starting point against mutated lines of it as well.
What are you implying, here?If Trump wins I'd expect many liberals to not be around anymore for a variety of reasons. There will be less hosts for the virus to attach too.
Johnson & Johnson officer says goal is to deliver 1 billion coronavirus vaccines next year | TheHill
A Johnson & Johnson executive said Sunday that the company’s goal is to deliver 1 billion doses of coronavirus vaccine next year.
Paul Stoffels, the company’s chief scientific officer, told ABC’s “This Week” that Johnson & Johnson is increasing its manufacturing and preparing for clinical trials in September. He hopes to have data and start developing the vaccines at the end of the year.
“We are upscaling manufacturing, and we start producing in the late year with the aim to deliver 1 billion vaccines next year,” he said.

Great news if their vaccine works as intended. But it takes up to a month after vaccination for antibodies to reach an effective level. And by my count, by next year we're looking at something around half a million new deaths.
