Parkchester: Some good Info about where we are in regard to producing a VACCINE that really works against COVID-19

Getting into the habit of being "well-informed" is a good trait.

This can be beneficial in so many different contexts.

Let's talk about this in regard to our current predicament, battling COVID 19.

Talking heads on traditional, mainstream televised news intermittently talk about the race to find a vaccine, but never, at least as of yet, had offered indepth info. I think, down the line, they will.  

In the meantime, let me offer some excellent info I had stumbled upon today about this urgent and unprecedented race to produce a vaccine. (Info is current, published just three days ago.)

Furthermore, this info is posted on a website whose curators insist contributing writers have achieved a certain degree of professionalism:

Site states: "To be published by The Conversation you must be currently employed as a researcher or academic with a university or research institution. PhD candidates under supervision by an academic can write for us, but we don’t currently publish articles from Masters students."

Website's tag reads: "Academic rigor, journalistic flair"

In my mind, the information presented here is less likely to mislead (be "fake news" or "misinformation"), and an excellent starting point for anyone that may desire to do further research on the race to produce an effective and safe vaccine to fight current the coronavirus pandemic. 

Title of this very informative article (@ theconversation.com) is:
