Such a vaccine would be an incredible and life if not society changing medical advancement if it is in fact safe and effective. Such incredibly soughtafter medical breakthroughs of course require an equally incredible amount of skepticism and rechecking of data when one does come across them. Here's hoping this is a major stepping stone to universal vaccination, because that would be incredible

Well. Medical journalism is full of supposed incredible breakthroughs in fighting cancer. Most were not true. But the sum of gradual progress is indeed incredible, if one thinks about it.
