Here's why a vaccine will not stop the Covid-19 pandemic right away

metmike: Leave it to the MSM to be telling us why we shouldn't be excited about the vaccine being ready much sooner than predicted.

Telling us to be suspicious that it wasn't properly tested because............Trump pushed it thru prematurely before it was ready.

Making us afraid to get the vaccine because of this. 

Telling us that it won't really be ready when Trump says and there will not be very many doses available for a long time.

If Trump is for something or causes something good to happen, they have to be against it or find ways to twist it into being something bad.

"It's unlikely that a Covid-19 vaccine will receive full approval and broad distribution right away. Instead, the FDA will probably authorize vaccines for use in targeted groups of people at high risk from Covid and most likely to benefit from the vaccine," Dr. Mark McClellan and Dr. Scott Gottlieb, both former FDA commissioners, wrote in a commentary in the Wall Street Journal Monday. "All this means that at least initially, Covid vaccines won't provide the sort of herd immunity that can help extinguish an epidemic."  

That will take time -- likely well into next year, even if a vaccine were to be authorized in January, most experts who spoke to CNN predicted. 

The US just is not ready for a mass vaccination campaign like the one needed to bring coronavirus under control, public health experts agreed.

Plus, the coronavirus vaccine or vaccines will still be experimental, so every person who gets one will need to be tracked to make sure there are no adverse reactions.

"With mass vaccination clinics, it involves bringing large groups of people into a site and vaccinating as many people as possible," Chan said. "How do we do that in a way that reduces the risk of transmitting the very disease that we trying to vaccinate against?"

metmike: Funny how getting large numbers of people together, wearing masks, staying 6 feet apart waiting in line to get a COVID shot is a high risk but somehow, thousands of people standing shoulder to shoulder, some not wearing masks and shouting at protests does not transmit COVID!
