Wonderfully promising news!! (even if it is only a company-issued press release from an ongoing trial, with almost no shared data or formal peer review)

NEW: Pfizer says early results of its trials show that its COVID vaccine is safe and effective for children ages 5 to 11. n.pr/3koLMJz

As we mark 20 years of the heinous attacks of 9/11, my thoughts are with the victims, survivors & families. The solidarity & resolve shown by the international community in those dark days should continue to inspire & guide our efforts to create a future without terrorism.
