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.
.
’Could be ready’ is as good as you will get from anyone whatever the timeframe might be.
Please note that I am not referring to every single news article out there about a vaccine. This article accurately quotes a prominent professor with experience in producing vaccines so you could question the Professor but not the article per se.
In general I agree with
LondonElite’s assertion that things won’t just turn on later this year. All I am pointing out is that it is
possible a vaccine might play an earlier role (eg 2021) than asserted.
