How many times have we seen early reports about some "promising" new medication that should cure, say, Alzheimer's forever, only to learn it simply doesn't have any impact on the disease in humans.
Yeah, I know these are clinical trials in humans, but then again, how many "promising" early clinical trials have turned out to be duds?

88% was already pre-ordered by other countries. Plus Pfizer's has refrigeration delivery issues.
