Yes it looks like good news and fingers crossed it is, on the down side doesn't look like anybody will get the vaccine till the new year and even then initially it will be for the over 80's and key workers, followed by vunerable groups and descending down the age groups, so it might well be into the new year before lots of people get it. Meanwhile between now and then the virus will continue to spread.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

It's good news, but, I think there are a few 'buts' in there; this isn't a final study, & it wasn't on a large study of people (just 94). Also other vaccines at a similar stage of testing may prove more effective &/safer. Certainly a step in the right direction, & a reason for some cautious optimism. I hadn't seen this, so thank you for sharing @66Mustang

Definitely some “buts” but on the whole I think it is good news.
The stock market seems to think it is good news, at least, and they never base their decisions on impulse or hope
In all seriousness though I’m inclined to take it as a good piece of news and I agree a wonder of science. -

Also, keep in mind that there are those of us who can't have vaccines because of the effect it can have on our health.

I’m not a doctor so may be talking rubbish, just trying to be positive.
