yeah, I agree its normal, and necessary. But I also think that if there is no vaccine prior to the election, the people involved with these trials would be more than happy with that.

This safety pause will need to be forgotten in the "ohmygod the dotard Trump personally forced it to be rushed for politics and its unsafe, dont take it!" narrative when the vaccine is created prior to the election.

If after the election, this same pause will be used to show that all precautions were taken and that it was a legitimate trial. strange that.

Was supposed to be a free vaccine. But then.....

Rather than give away its COVID-19 vaccine, Oxford makes a deal with drugmaker

"A few weeks later, Oxford — urged on by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — reversed course. It signed an exclusive vaccine deal with AstraZeneca that gave the pharmaceutical giant sole rights and no guarantee of low prices — with the less-publicized potential for Oxford to eventually make millions from the deal and win plenty of prestige."

Worrying that some of the globe's despots are rushing vaccines prior to them having been sufficiently reviewed.
