2025....and it will reset to $5 million (but will be more as the $5M limit is adjusted for inflation).

Inflation? Inflation? Who really thinks we will be seeing any inflation by then?

Why be so dismissive....like the famous Poe? quote, believe nothing of what you hear, and only 1/2 of what you see... I would liken anonymous forum postings as the same category as something that you hear.

Every few posts though you get a valid answer, or something else to think or consider, so it's the same as taking investment advice cross cockpit........beware and DYODD

It was announced when reaching the required CDC protocols. Exactly when it should have been announced.

CMO Moderna, Tak Zaks, was interviewed on Axios last week confirmed your statement.

I wish I did know ALL as you lump sum folks into the same bucket with standard statements adding nothing in the end. Only know a few things and I truly wish I didn’t have personal experience with the mil budget cycle staff weenie stuff. 2 separate tours and 5 years total D.C. Swamp time I can never get back. But I get compensated for it now. Too bad there wasn’t additional VA comp for that mind dump as well, but I am fully covered despite the lost brain cells. Thru the 20/20 hindsight lens it was very much worth the stability now and garnered many life long friends who escaped the suck along side me.

I agree with “nene”, I am just here to learn myself and add half a cent of info. Would be kind of cool if I knew everything I must admit, but not in this media driven world.

Great way to build trust in a vaccine. First up the numbers from 32 cases to 64 cases at the last minute so the announcement coincidentally comes out right after the election ends. The optics are horrible regardless of how it really went down. We work in an industry hanging by a thread and basically putting all of its cards on a vaccine. The way this went down is not good when we need 70% of Americans to take this vaccine ASAP if we hope to stay out of bankruptcy.

is your contention that, for the sake of optics, a vaccine’s trial results should have been announced before they were properly finished in accordance with protocol?

No. I don't know what protocol you are taking about, the protocol they changed? Can you point me to the protocol you keep talking about? My contention is that they changed the numbers from a required 32 cases to 64 cases that aligned just within days after the election and that is not good for public trust in the vaccine. Many people, like me, question the reasons for that change and consequently it erodes trust in the vaccine. The release of the news was nothing more than a press release and had no official/lawful purpose. They should have waited until December for the announcement. A lack of trust in this vaccine is not good for the airline industry.

The results were released one week earlier than expected. They made a announcement months earlier when they expected to be able to report initial trials. Here is verbatim what they put out.

In the instance of Emergency Use Authorization in the U.S. for a potential COVID-19 vaccine, FDA is requiring that companies provide two months of safety data on half of the trial participants following the final dose of the vaccine. Based on our current trial enrollment and dosing pace, we estimate we will reach this milestone in the third week of November.”
