  • Mm.

  • The arrival of J and J's vaccine is another sign.

  • It's going to be a glorious spring.

  • Think back a year ago and March was miserable as people realized the coronavirus pandemic was here to stay within days.

  • If you remember, Tom Hanks said, he was sick.

  • The NBA canceled its season, and the S and P 500 plunged by nearly a third.

  • It's been awhile, but this march will see this gloom finally start to lift as lots of people get vaccinated.

  • A.

  • J and J's vaccine is the third authorized the United States, and it has some advantages.

  • Unlike those made by Pfizer and Moderna, it's easy to store and ship, and it only requires one dose instead of to.

  • What really matters, though, is simply getting more shots into more arms.

  • So far, just over 50 million Americans are about 15% of total population has received at least one vaccine.

  • That number could double in March.

  • That's because fighters more than doubling capacity to 15 million doses a week, and Modern is raising production to 40 million months.

  • The addition of J and J adds another 20 million this month and 100 million by the end of Jim.

  • In short, vaccine production is accelerating fast, and that will eventually translate into fewer people getting sick and dying and less transmission of the disease.

  • That spring may be beautiful, but I'll probably be just as fitting for drugmaker's profit.

  • JJ's vaccine is priced at a fraction of the offerings from Madura Advisor, about $10 a shot, and more vaccines will probably be approved soon.

  • Sure, it will take a while to Rolla vaccines worldwide, but every new approval and production increase is a sign of a beautiful spring.

Mm.
