Pfizer and BioNTech announced their COVID-19 vaccine trial had shown more than 90% effectiveness — far better than most scientists had dared hope for, after eight months of a pandemic with no clear end in sight. Stock markets jumped, and for a lot of people it was the first morning since March that genuinely felt like relief rather than another round of bad news. It would still be months before most people could get a dose themselves, but this is the day the idea of "after the pandemic" started to feel like a real date on a calendar instead of a hope.
