According to TMZ, Dr. Moncef Slaoui said during an interview with CNN that multiple drug companies are ready to distribute millions of vaccine doses, starting in early December. The expected shipment date was scheduled to correlate with the FDA’s approval and 20 million will be shipped out first.
Although many have opposed the vaccine, the chief scientific advisor says the United States could reach normalcy by May 2021. “I think people have misunderstood the level of efficacy that the FDA aimed for, which was to say, at least 50% efficacy. Maybe people thought that was the efficacy of the vaccine. It’s 95%. It’s almost a full insurance against this pandemic. I think and I hope that’s gonna change people’s perception,” he assured to CNN’s Jeff Tapper.

He also noted the disappointment he felt since the whole process has been politicized and claimed the doses will be safe for Americans.
“I really think it’s very unfortunate that the whole process has been politicized and, therefore, the context has created conditions whereby people’s perception has been exacerbated and we are where we are today.
