BREAKING: Moderna says its coronavirus vaccine trial produced ‘robust’ immune response in all patien
I think we could all agree this is good news. Might get some pushback from the anti-vaxxers though.

Cook it.
Have been fully vaccinated my whole life but I ain't taking that shit.
Why not short it and make some inside money with a dubious claim. Somebody is getting rich once the vaccine doesn’t get to market and stock price craters.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, has often touted Moderna's potential vaccine.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—A year after it attracted the largest private financing round ever for a biotechnology company, Moderna Therapuetics is receiving another major show of support for its messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced a $20-million grant to Moderna to advance the development of an affordable mRNA-based cocktail of antibody therapeutics to help prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The development efforts will be led by Valera, Moderna’s year-old infectious disease-focused subsidiary.
Stéphane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, tells DDNews that the Gates Foundation grant will provide support for GLP toxicology studies, preparations for clinical trials and a Phase 1 study. “We are honored that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has selected Moderna as a partner, recognizing the tremendous potential of our mRNA drug platform to address some of the world’s most widespread and urgent health concerns,” he says.
The initial $20 million provided by the Gates Foundation grant could be just a fraction of a longer-term contribution. The Gates Foundation and Moderna have reached an agreement that could eventually lead to another $80 million in grants from the foundation. Bancel says that the additional funding could be used to advance the HIV antibody program if Phase 1 studies are successful, or it could also be used to launch new programs focused on developing mRNA-based antibody treatments for other infectious diseases.
The risk of covid to myself (and probably you) is extremely minimal.
The vaccine, if it even does exist and work, is being fast tracked, there is a massive money grab on the line, Faucci is a liar, and the long term side effects will be unknown for years.
Ancient Asian proverb might apply here...? Better the devil you know, rather than the one you dont.

The NIH claims joint ownership of Moderna's coronavirus vaccine
Why it matters: Because the federal government has an actual stake in this vaccine, it could try to make the vaccine a free or low-cost public good with wide distribution, if the product turns out to be safe and effective.
The big picture: The NIH mostly funds outside research, but it also often invents basic scientific technologies that are later licensed out and incorporated into drugs that are sold at massive profits. The agency rarely claims ownership stakes or pursues patent rights, but that appears to be different with this coronavirus vaccine.
"We do have some particular stake in the intellectual property" behind Moderna's coronavirus vaccine, NIH Director Francis Collins said during an Economic Club interview in May.
