Thanks for clarifying.

I haven't seen anything that indicates this is being rushed without following proper procedures for vaccines. And if the right people (Fauci for me) endorsed it that would be good enough for me. I expect it to be politicized though, and every conservative who thinks Fauci is worthless to disagree with me on that.

Dr. Fauci does believe in them, and Obama has even offered to take the vaccine on TV along with his family to try and re-assure people that everything is okay with it and it is safe.

I suppose now with the UK approving it, the race is on for the other countries to approve / roll out. Canada is expected to approve within days, followed by Spain and Mexico, from what I have read. If approved, i have the USA finishing fourth or later. I guess the thing that I can't understand, is that how a vaccine that was developed and produced in America, was approved for use in foreign countries before it was here. Just strange, IMO.
