The Covid 19 pandemic has been in effect since March of this year and a lot of people have their own thoughts and feelings about it.  Some think it's not real, others are terrified of it, and some people just want everything including any form of quarantine to be over with.  Rumors are circulating now that there could be a vaccine ready as early as November 1st.

I always from day one when the corona virus became a thing that it would go away whether by vaccine or some other way after the elections because I have always felt that things have been held off by our President so he can look like a hero when the vaccine does come out to try and get some votes in his favor.

Successfully rolling out a coronavirus vaccine by Nov. 1 will rely on clinical trials conducted at unprecedented speed, coupled with public release of research that shows it is both safe and effective, experts say.

Reaction to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's letter to states to prepare for "large-scale" distribution of the vaccine in November — specifically, two days before the presidential election — triggered swift concern that political pressure could override commitments to safety.

"I want to see the data," said Dr. Carlos del Rio, executive associate dean of the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. "I need to show that there is true efficacy and safety."

Will you be taking the vaccine when and if it comes out?
