CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

I was quite buoyed by today's vaccine announcements, but perhaps it is a bit premature, there seems to have been little or no new peer review of the Pfizer vaccine developments since it's announcement back on the 5th of Nov.

That absence of qualified commentary is very strange to say the least, and should be a warning sign that the announcement is more about publicity and politics than good science.

Let's hope the unusually quiet peer review front is just an anomaly and there is real progress. I suspect at this stage pending reports of some real progress or a false dawn are equally likely.
