Todays 90% effective press release also says that safety results will not be available until later this month. This coincides with the safety date mentioned in the LAT Oct article.
Emergency use authorization waits until the safety data is available.
The Oct article says effectiveness data may revealed by the end of Oct. Which would be before the election.

Let’s look at what Pfizer said on October 16:

Pfizer says mid-November is earliest it can seek coronavirus vaccine approval
https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-10-16/pfizer-mid-november-coronavirus-earliest-vaccine-approval

Oh wait! Pfizer just issued a clarifying press release a few minutes ago: "Yeah, we waited. We hate Shitforbrains' guts. Distributing a vaccine requires a competent government, not a clown show.  Got a problem with that?"

yeah gee why would any pharmaceutical company not like Trump?

Pfizer was going to announce it earlier but on the advice of George Soros, Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates they held back. 

Congratulations Team Biden for engineering this post-October surprise.

But they had to announce it now so Senator Loeffler will be able to post her anti-vaxxer rantings before the special

From Wiki:

the Telecommunications Act of 1996...enabled the handful of corporations dominating the airwaves to expand their power further. Mergers enabled tighter control of information...The Latin American writer Eduardo Galeano commented..."Never have so many been held incommunicado by so few."[35]

This didn't start it but certainly accelerated the effects.

For those keeping score at home, this is page 69 of the caronavirus (sp) thread. Truly a throwback to a simpler time. Before we lost our innocence.

Mn had its highest death count yesterday. 56. Previous high was 36.
"People 70 and older make up 9% of known infections but 81% of deaths. Fifty of the deaths reported Wednesday involved people 70 and older and 38 involved residents of long-term care facilities."

Good thing they locked down all spring and summer and made masks mandatory!  Really working wonders it seems...

Well that's lucky.

My informal poll of 70 year olds finds that none of them minds gasping for air and slowly drowning in their own fluids as long as it means Harley riders can still get a beer at the VFW and shop Menards without wearing any cowardly face coverings.

Hospitals face rising caseloads, staffing shortages

"As COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to rise, hospitals in the Twin Cities metro are nearing capacity and facing staff shortages."

"Hospitals in the Twin Cities metro are currently at 98 percent capacity, and 97 percent for medical-surgical beds. Statewide, hospitals are at 92 percent capacity and 88 percent for medical-surgical beds, MDH Infectious Disease Director Kris Ehresmann said Wednesday."

"But it’s not just beds that are a concern, it’s also staffing. A precipitous rise in cases has sidelined many of the state’s health workers."

"On Wednesday, Gov. Tim Walz has asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency for help with staffing support for long-term care facilities and hospitals, according to his office."
