More great news.  First thing I saw this morning when I turned on my laptop.  Let's see how many come along to poo poo this, probably the usual suspects.

Better news is that this vaccine has easier storage requirements. Reportedly has a 30 day shelf life one thawed.

This is very good news.  Cruise stocks pre-market are rallying at the moment - RCL is up 8% since Friday's close.

Just saw interview Dr Oz saying general public would probably have access to moderna vaccine by March, maybe sooner.  Other high risk people and front line workers would be mid to end january and february.  Of course that timeline is just an estimate.  But at least there is more light at end of tunnel.  More Great News!!

I saw this too, and thought great news. More chance I can get vaccinated before my cruise april 25.

 

Bring it on.

 

YEA!!

The oxford/astra Seneca vaccine the Brits have going sounds very promising too!

Just wondering what the "Product Liability" insurance premiums for these pharma companies.

It would not surprise me if they were self insured.

It could also bring lots of lawsuits.   We'll know years from now.

Anything brings lawsuits nowadays.

To a certain level and re-insure the excess.

The pharma companies are essentially exempt from liability because they are covered under public health emergency laws.

Whatever you call it, it wouldn’t have become available in months instead of years without Operation Warp Speed.

Yup, that's really what makes this especially good news.  There are a lot of remote areas that will benefit from easier distribution.

Happy to hear about the Moderna data. Good effect on the stock market.

I am hoping for the end of March, but at the very least, it will flatten the fear 🙂

There generally is government immunity from lawsuits.  In the US and claims are paid out of a government fund - not by pharma.  Clearly otherwise no pharma would develop vaccines.

But when it comes to lawsuits, you never know.  Look at the lawsuits emanating from the HIV meds.  Also, during the mortgage crisis, Bush's Treasury begged JP Morgan Chase to take over bankrupt Washington Mutual operations.  New administration (Obama) came in and fined the company millions for the actions of the acquired Co.  We as shareholders paid the price.

Perfect opportunity for the cruise ship hating, ambulance chaser to expand his business.

Is this one also a 2 shot needed deal?  Don't know how the logistics of all this is going to work.  Just like testing there will be lines with hours of waiting time to get one.  Then how to you make sure that you can get the second dose?
