Nope and nope. Waiting for phase three trials to complete.

Phase 3 trials were concluded last year. That's why the vaccines are available.

Did you mean that you were waiting for the regular use authorization rather than the emergency use authorization? OK, that's expected early next month:

You might want to make your reservation early, since I hear a lot of people claiming that they're waiting for that. Of course it's the very same vaccine that's available today; it's just a matter of going over the paperwork to make sure all of the i's are dotted and t's crossed.

What can phase three trials show us that an empirical trial of a billion people can’t?
Well, I think everyone have had an opportunity to check results of phase three trials since last October or September?
