Genuinely asking - is the timing coincidental or is the decision to release these results after the election politically motivated for either Moderna or Pfizer?

Genuinely asking - is the timing coincidental or is the decision to release these results after the election politically motivated for either Moderna or Pfizer? COVID has of course hurt Trump’s candidacy and one could see how good news prior to voting would help his chances. There’s a saying that goes “everything in an election year is about the election”. Thoughts?
