Can Trump be stopped?

Lord knows, I tried! But seriously, watching the coverage on all the news networks, and taking Bernie Sanders point, no-one seems prepared to stand up to the man. The GOP seems to be paralysed by fear. I truly believe he will try to bring the Country down with him before January.

That 95% effective is based on a sample of 95 people, so don't get too excited. Pfizer's wasn't much different mind.

No it wasn’t. They had a sample of tens of thousands where half were given the vaccine and half were given a placebo. The way they judge the effectiveness is to wait until a hundred people of that sample get the virus and then see how many were in the vaccine vs placebo groups. In this case 95% were in the control group. So the sample wasn’t 95 people. It was tens of thousands.
