  "Pfizer and BioNTech are confident they can have a vaccine against the novel coronavirus ready for regulatory approval by the middle of October or early November." This doesn't seem extreme to me. "ready for regulatory approval" just means they've submitted a complete package to the FDA. However, this is a really stupid comment. "It has an excellent profile and I consider this vaccine ... near perfect, and which has a near perfect profile," And at least according to FDA regulations, that statement violates a number of rules around the promotion of unapproved products.
