There are a lot of ongoing and planned vaccine trials. This is a link from the Danish medicine institute, but it is in English, summarizing all the difference global efforts to produce a vaccine. It was updated on May 19, so the Information is very recent. Hopefully there is more continued success.

Have you actually listened to NPR reporting?

The NPR website has consistently stuck with facts and decent journalism in recent years.

They are obviously a hair left of center, but that seems to manifest as publishing more interest items that appeal to the left. They do not appear to drive an agenda, misrepresent fiction as news, or selectively forget to mention significant news which reflects poorly on a particular agenda. You can be a little left (or right) and still be committed to traditional good journalistic principles.

Trust me, I appreciate NPR for their behavior, not for their politics.

Looks relatively unbiased (if you believe in facts and stuff of course!)

this is why I watch CNBC, Bloomberg, and BBC

"media sensationalism" = Fox, CNN both are guilty at times. not always tho. they can produce very good stuff if they focused on being journalists first

Edit: "not always" added

USG is investing $1B in a British-developed vaccine, in exchange for 300M doses...

Is it not obvious that most of these putative ’trials’ are fairly obvious pump ‘n’ dump stock schemes? Several off patent protocols have been demonstrated effective but are getting absolutely no attention while insanely profitable ’new’ formulations are hyped daily? The companies involved wouldn’t happen to be big advertising clients of the ‘news’ organizations breathlessly repeating press releases disguised as hot scoops?

Great news, and in a perfect world they will be deploying these vaccines by Sept/Oct. Hoping they are successful!

6 months ago, it took more than a decade to develop a vaccine, now it takes 4 months apparently. I think I'll wait to see what the side effects are.
