It's ridiculous, if you don't define what "ready" means in this context.
All these articles invariably portray a timeline which is simply not realistic. I am not sure if it's done because of the lack of the journalists' understanding or because of deceitfulness.

Pretty sure the optimistic tone of the scientists proclaiming they already found a vaccine against COVID-19 is largely due to them wanting to secure more government funding.

And the Australians already found a vaccine a month ago: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-roll-yet.html

United and all airlines will likely re-start flying way before an actual vaccine is available. And it's quite possible a vaccine will never be available.
