Here's a hot topic I see in our future, will an emergency approved vaccine void our medicals?

Alpa daily had an article a week or so ago that thier working on regulatory approval. They mentioned right now it’s 1 year after FDA approval for any vaccine. I believe the Canadian equivalent has relief already.

It will certainly be interesting to see.

Even if we have a low vaccination rate, I think the airlines will still see a great recovery. I feel like the folks who are scared to get on a plane right now, are likely to be the ones who go get the vaccine. And then they will get back on the planes.

My folks haven't flown since the pandemic started. They will get the vaccine and then they will start traveling again. I think there's a lot of people like them.

I think he’s been eating it for at least four years. Trump won, vaccines kill, COVID will be gone by April with the warmer weather...like a miracle, the earth is flat, and we never landed on the moon...got it. Keep watching infowars man, it’s done wonders for your brain and your critical thinking abilities.

I think a valid concern at the moment is the increase in the number and the rate of people being infected throughout the world. This interesting part is for the most part I see people wearing masks and socially distancing every where I go. I do worry that this will have a negative effect like back in June when we had the second wave. I’m hopefully it does not and that we indeed succeed in this aggressive plan to grow. Time will decide if vaccines, new administration policies, etc... will be good or bad for our future.

I share the same concerns. Luckily for us Moderna just announced their vaccine is also highly effective. The feds have invested heavily in them, and it sounds like millions of doses will be ready within a month. I’m now more optimistic for 2021 than I’ve been in a very long time.

The Moderna vaccine looks even better than the Pfizer one. Slightly more effective and it doesn't need to be stored at insane temperatures.

Today's Moderna news is definitely better news than last weeks Pfizer news. Plus, obviously having multiple vaccines coming is great
