Great article, thanks for sharing.

This is true. Especially since more than one dose per person will likely be required. Billions of doses will be needed, likely sourced from multiple companies.

I've seen a lot of talk about the logistics of needing -70 storage and transport. Hadn't seen anything about dry ice working, which would be interesting as that is cheap and readily available. But many will just see this report and think "more effective + easier to store = better." Probably the most important question will be price. Which will be more expensive to produce/buy?

Another thing to consider is that Pfizer, the first to release a major announcement, already signed contracts with many countries for millions of vaccines. So though Moderna may be nominally better, what will it matter if the best contracts have already been signed with Pfizer? So you do have a point that Pfizer may be getting overlooked here.

Probably because #Moderna's vaccine is more effective than #Pfizer's AND doesn't require specialized freezers to store the doses.

But that was months ago, then why fire him now?

I read that Trump fired Esper because he was assisting the Biden transition team which Trump explicitly forbid. Trump still thinks thinks he won.

An accurate description of the situation. But even if Trump eventually gets pushed out of the White House, I doubt he'll go away. He'll still have his cultish following and be able to rile everyone up. The fact that nearly 50% of the country voted for this madman is very concerning.

Good read.

I think the answer to this is pretty straight forward... $TSLA all the way.

Not surprising that the wealthiest people own the most stocks. Now if only I were one of those people...
