After months of rumor and speculation, multiple COVID-19 vaccines have arrived on the scene. In the United States, pharmaceutical giants Moderna and Pfizer have both developed a COVID-19 vaccine, with early data suggesting excellent efficacy for both immunizations of at least 95%. Earlier this week, the United Kingdom became “the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine.” According to the BBC, the UK has “ordered 40 million doses – enough to vaccinate 20 million people.”
While Dr. Anthony Fauci stirred controversy when he said that the UK had “rushed” its approval of the vaccine, he later apologized, saying he has “a great deal of confidence in what the UK does both scientifically and from a regulator standpoint.” After apologizing, he “implied that the US would quickly be in a position to approve a vaccine,” saying, “We’ll be there. We’ll be there very soon.”
