This is, get as many approved, safe and effective vaccines as you possibly can,” Fauci said. Vaccine experts say it’s time to set public expectations. Many scientists don’t expect a coronavirus vaccine to be nearly as protective as the measles shot. If the best COVID-19 vaccine is only 50% effective, “that’s still to me a great vaccine,” said Dr. Drew Weissman of the University of Pennsylvania. “We need to start having this conversation now,” so people won’t be surprised, he added.

China bombshell: Expert says country must be ready for ‘mid-sized war’ against India
Two weeks ago, clashes in the high altitude Galwan Valley left 20 Indian soldiers dead with unconfirmed reports of Chinese casualties. Qiao Liang, a retired air force major general and military theorist, wrote on WeChat the chances of an all-out war were low but China needed to be more prepared. He said: “We should not overestimate India’s response, but we must also not let our guard down.” Mr Qiao called for Beijing to take the “initiative”. He added: “If we must fight a war, we must strike quickly and contain the scale in a small and mid-sized war aimed at causing pain to our opponents and hence gaining respect via small wars.” Meanwhile, Wang Yunfei, a Chinese naval expert and retired PLA Navy officer, called on Beijing to give frontline troops the initiative to counter an intrusion without the need for approval for higher command.

NYT Finds Themselves in a Blunder Over Their Botched Russia-Taliban Story
Members of the American intelligence community have concluded that members of the Russian intelligence unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants if they successfully killed members of the American military, the New York Times reported. The problem, however, is that almost everyone involved in this story says it isn't true. The White House, Russia and even the Taliban have said the Times' story is false.
