We all have our lens to this.
I think the news about Pfizer's vaccine would have come out this week regardless of who is the Potus elect. But that's just me... My outrage isn't on vaccine data release timing but rather on a continued lack of a Federal plan on coping with a Pandemic. One that's growing (again) at a significant rate. There is so much more that can be done besides guidelines and letting states make decisions all over the board, sometimes really bad ones. Ask most doctors and there still isn't enough PPE, Tx just reached over 1,000,000 cases and hospitalizations are up (a lot) too. It will be interesting to see a new approach to it, one guided by science, not politics or wall street. We'll see how effective or not it will be. We could be looking at a holiday shut-down in this country if the current trajectory remains. There will be no normal in our lives or economic recovery, until this thing fizzles out. Either way, I would wager most of us here wont be getting poked with it till this summer. Health care workers on the frontline of a growing Pandemic are first and should be. 90% effective is what I want to understand better regarding this Pfizer entry. Sorry 30 years of being a market researcher does that. That 90% probably isn't taking into account asymptomatic cases etc. So more to come on that front. But 90% sure sounds better than the 40-60% we've heard for years regarding the old school influenza. Pfizers vaccine requires 2 doses within 21 days of each other. So that's different than the others in phase 3 and will required 2x the supply chain/logistics as a result. Did you know this stuff has to be stored at sub-zero? Regardless of your political leaning, watch last nights 60 minutes interview with the head honcho of operation warp speed. The work to get this out among 300mm people is Yuge. The biggest fear he has? Not a supply chain mis-hap, but how many Americans wont take the shot.

My advisor has been buying chunks of Pfizer for the past six months, so don't think it was a great big secret. Last night on 60 Minutes they went over the distribution planning, good stuff, government finally doing something.

I wish this news would've come out a day later so we could've separated its impact on Wall Street from the Biden win impact.
