Not likely hype; The company has been operating independently of operation Warp Speed. Except in alt-reality, of course. I was wrong, by the way, when I predicted that Trump would claim he has a vaccine in the week(s) leading up to the election. I think he managed to shift focus away from covid way better than I anticipated. Looking at new case numbers, we're in big trouble. Sadly, it's the "flyover" states, with so many Trumpkins, that are getting hit hardest right now. And Don Jr.'s right, the death rates (likelihood of death per covid case) are down significantly, because we've really upped our game with therapeutics, but that's not some sort of justification for the administration's criminally (imho) poor covid response.
