This is not a panacea, it will still take time to fully vet the data and it will likely be months before doses start going out and even more months after that until sufficiently large numbers of people have been inoculated before we can even approach normality.

"it will likely be months before doses start going"

Where do you get that it will take "months" between emergency approval and actual vaccinations? The communications out of the leading vaccine teams clearly state otherwise.

Because this is a press release from a corporation with a vested interest in being "first" and not an approval by the FDA.
