It should start before Jan 20. Pfizer will get an emergency authorization this week.

We will see healthcare workers vaccinated in December.

I said December 10, that is the day of the FDA meeting where Pfizer could be approved. No date for Moderna yet.

Surprised we don’t see people clamoring, it’s weird. I would go tomorrow if I could get it. But I suppose we need to tolerate 200k more deaths... I kind of get it...but wouldn’t be opposed to just get on with distribution now to really old people for sure.

Can’t wait for the changing polls as to who wants the vaccine, it will be a great lesson.

We have these procedures for a reason...

I think (hope?) one of the very faint silver linings of this Covid wave will be to change some attitudes about the vaccine.

Sorry, I meant to say they’ll submit an application this week.

I worked with a team on Mayo recently. But only remotely. I hope they were working remotely too.

They bought our machines and were using them to test for COVID, and astonishingly were looking at my algorithm. We had a nice discussion, my company put me face forward. Which I think was courageous of them. I don't really know how it turned out. Such are the dynamics of company communication firewalls.

That’s cool, Horace.

They loved you. You grew up next door.

@jon-nyc Ayup. It's getting serious around here.

There are some smart people at Mayo. They like other smart people. You did fine.
