WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS (Or hours!)The J&J Vaccine announcement is now absolutely imminent, and will prove to the be definitive game-changer with regard to vaccine progress.
As we all know, the roll-out of vaccine has been pretty hap-hazard so far. We all want it, but there's just not enough to satisfy demand. Additionally, both Pfizer and Moderna are a TWO shot vaccine.
Enter J&J. BIGGEST pharma in the world, announcing a ONE shot vaccine that only requires normal refridgeration, AND ABLE TO PRODUCE 1 BILLION DOSES THIS YEAR.
So let's compare that to Pfizer. Pfizer claims they can do 1.3 BILLION doses this year. Certainly respectable, but with it being a two shot vaccine, that's the equivalent of only 650 fully vaccinated double-shots. Now go back to J&J @1 BILLION in single shots. That's the equivalant of 2 BILLION Pfizer's, which is not happening.
My point is this. With the immient J&J announcement, there's going to be an absolute flood of vaccine available, which is wonderful. But for Air Canada? PURE GOLD. People will see the end in sight, and the push to herd immunity will be moved significantly earlier in the year.
I bought a LOT more on this dip. Absolutely thrilled!
