Keep The Future on Ice

Thankfully, the scientists and truth aficionados keep on keepin’ on. A few days after Pfizer’s good vaccine news, Moderna says its vaccine appears to be 94.5% effective. “The results are ‘truly striking,’ said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious diseases expert. Earlier this year, Fauci said he would be happy with a COVID-19 vaccine that was 60% effective.”

+ And more good news: The vaccine is “more stable than expected at temperatures that ordinary refrigerators can provide and can be distributed using existing cold-chain shipping and storage infrastructure.” Moderna’s vaccine needs to be kept cold, Pfizer’s needs to be kept really, really cold.
