But they didn't mention any observed problems, and vaccines in general are not a complete mystery, so it's certainly very promising.

Those of us engineering types like to tweak our medical professional acquaintances if you would just design a more consistent human, medicine would be way more effective....lol

most of this molecule was already develope for SARS... just a relatively small piece had to have a change.... still Renard how fast they did it though.

I'm hoping this mRNA process is successful, a Norovirus vaccine(stomach flu) will follow in a few months after Covid.

All vaccines are engineered otherwise you would just be getting the virus.

From an Australian newspaper in ref to Qantas.

'Respected aviation intelligence firm CAPA - Centre for Aviation - has forecast the domestic market to return to 37 per cent capacity in early July, 49 per cent by the October school holidays and 60 per cent by mid-December.'

Perhaps a vaccine isn't needed.....

Those numbers would be an utter disaster for airlines

60% ish is probably cash-flow neutral for most domestic operations. With layoffs and other cost-cuts, they can survive indefinitely while waiting for better times. Assuming excess capacity doesn't utterly destroy RASM.

I'd take 60% right now if I could get it!

Yep. It’s the airlines with international ops most likely to get hammered. If those don’t come back apace, it starts the training cascade. If that happens they are equally screwed moneywise.
