Any thoughts on Pfizer holding back the announcement of a potential vaccine until election was complete.
Is there evidence they held it back?
If I were Pfizer, I would have held it back. Any news of a vaccine in the days prior to the election would have been treated with extreme skepticism by half of the US. That half would have assumed the Trump administration had pressured Pfizer to release the data early and would be extremely suspicious of the data, the vaccine and Pfizer as a whole.
Until recently, the CDC was, ive heard, the most trustworthy health organization in the world. Trump destroyed that. It would be natural for Pfizer to try to do what it could to avoid that fall.
