It's 2020. So naturally there's more bad news.

This time on the coronavirus vaccine front.

The promising Oxford vaccine has paused Phase III testing because of a medical complication in one of the test subjects. And apparently this isn't the first pause:

So myelitis caused the first “pause.” Is the Times claiming that myelitis also caused this new, second pause? Because that would be an “uh oh” moment and might cause researchers to revisit their assessment that the first myelitis case was unrelated to the vaccine. Or is the current pause due to some other disease, one which might reasonably be explained as unconnected? A lot rests on the answer. A doctor who advises the FDA told NBC that study pauses due to suspicions of serious side effects are “uncommon, but not unheard of,” and expects that we’ll know the cause in a few days.

 We shall know soon enough. Pray God that it is something unrelated.
