The company said it planned to apply for emergency approval from the Food and Drug Administration “within days.” The drug maker Pfizer said on Wednesday that its coronavirus vaccine was 95 percent effective and had no serious side effects — the first set of complete results from a late-stage vaccine trial as Covid-19 cases skyrocket around the globe.
The data showed that the vaccine prevented mild and severe forms of Covid-19, the company said. And it was 94 percent effective in older adults, who are more vulnerable to developing severe Covid-19 and who do not respond strongly to some types of vaccines.
Pfizer, which developed the vaccine with its partner BioNTech, said the companies planned to apply to the Food and Drug Administration for emergency authorization “within days,” raising hopes that a working vaccine could soon become a reality.
The trial results — less than a year after researchers began working on the vaccine — shattered all speed records for vaccine development, a process that usually takes years.

President-elect Joe Biden has said Donald Trump's refusal to concede is an "embarrassment", and told his supporters: "Nothing's going to stop us."
Asked if he had a message for Donald Trump, Mr Biden said: "Mr President, I look forward to speaking with you."
He added: "I think it's an embarrassment, the only thing... how can I say this tactfully... I think it will not help the president's legacy."
He said "nothing is going to stop" his administration moving forward and assuming power on 20 January 2021, despite President Donald Trump's refusal to concede the race for the White House.
Mr Biden said that his transition is "well under way" and that he is reviewing potential cabinet picks and other positions.
He referenced telephone calls with six world leaders, including Boris Johnson, saying the response had been "very fulsome and energetic".
هزینه گواهینامه رانندگی پایه سوم و یا همان سواری و ماشین عادی به مقدار بسیاری زیاد شده است .
بیایید تصور کنیم که در سال 1389 هستیم و می خواهید برای ثبت نام در یک آموزشگاه رانندگی اقدام کنید . شما مبلغی در حدود 350 هزار تومان برای موارد زیر باید پرداخت می کردید :
اما حالا با گذشت 10 سال قیمت ها به مقدار بسیار زیادی افزایش یافته است به طوری که اگر یک کارمند ساده در ماه 2.500.000 تومان در یافتی داشته باشد باید تقریبا بیش از نیمی از حقوق و درآمد خود را برای گرفتن گواهینامه رانندگی بگیرد که دقیقا به همان ترتیب زیر است یعنی :
مشاهده کردید که هزینه گواهینامه رانندگی به چه مقداری در این 10 سال زیاد شده است که البته اگر موارد جزیی را در این خصوص اضافه کنیم می توانید عمق گرانی را مشاهده کنید .
بیایید هزینه گواهینامه رانندگی در کشور های مهم جهان در این خصوص را نثبت به ایران بسنجیم : آپدیت (2020)
هزینه گواهینامه رانندگی در کشور آلمان برابر است با 500 یورو و حداقل درآمد در این کشور 3.500 یورو است
هزینه گواهینامه رانندگی در کشور انگلستان برابر است با 300 پوند و حداقل درآمد در این کشور 1200 پوند است
هزینه گواهینامه رانندگی در کشور فرانسه برابر است با 500 یورو و حداقل درآمد در این کشور 3.500 یورو است
هزینه گواهینامه رانندگی در کشور اسپانیا برابر است با 680 یورو و حداقل درآمد در این کشور 3.500 یورو است

هزینه گواهینامه رانندگی در کشور استرالیا برابر است با 500دلار و حداقل درآمد در این کشور 3.500 یورو است
می توانید از نرخ هزینه گواهینامه رانندگی در این کشور ها متوجه بشوید که هزینه ثبت نام برای گواهینامه رانندگی در این کشور ها به نسبت حداقل حقوق چقدر منصفانه است اما متاسفانه در ایران در این سالها هزینه گواهینامه بسیار بسیار زیاد شده است حال آنکه حداقل حقوق به هیچ وجه با هزینه های زندگی نیز برابری نمی کند .
با گران شدن نرخ بنزین در ایران , هزینه گواهینامه رانندگی در این کشور نیز به مقدار بسیار زیادی به دلیل آموزش های عملی رانندگی افزایش یافته است .
اما در این میاد هزینه گواهینامه موتور سیکلت نسبت به هزینه گواهینامه ماشین و یا پایه 3 در این 10 سال به مقدار بسیار کمی افزایش داشته است .
در هر صورت اگر بخواهیم از مراحل گرفتن گواهینامه رانندگی برایتان بگوییم :
ابتدا باید حتما برای ثبت نام به آموزشگاه رفته و اقدام کنید
سپس باید برای مراحل گرفتن آزمایش خون و چشم به مراکز مورد تایید آموزشگاه بروید
سپس باید در کلاس های آموزش آیین نامه رانندگی بنشینید و پاس کنید
سپس باید برای امتحان آیین نامه خود را آماده کنید
پس از آن باید برای تمرین رانندگی اقدام کنید
پس از آن باید برای امتحان شهری و یا عملی خود را آماده کنید
سپس پس از پاس کردن تمامی مراحل باید منتظر پست شدن کارت گواهینامه رانندگی باشید که در این صورت باید حدودا 20 الی 45 روز صبر کنید .

Joseph R. Biden Jr. addressed the nation for the first time as president-elect, saying, “This is the time to heal in America.” Kamala Harris is the first woman elected vice president. President Trump has vowed to file legal challenges. WILMINGTON, Del. — Joseph R. Biden Jr. addressed the nation for the first time as president-elect on Saturday night, delivering a message of unity and trying to soothe the extraordinary divisions that defined the last four years in American politics.
“Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end here and now,” he said.
In remarks before a drive-in audience in Wilmington brimming with longtime friends from Delaware, his home state, he directly appealed to the tens of millions of Americans who backed President Trump’s re-election, seeking to make good on his central campaign promise of bringing the country together.
“For all those of you who voted for President Trump, I understand the disappointment tonight,” Mr. Biden, speaking at the conclusion of his third run for the presidency, said. “I’ve lost a couple times myself. But now, let’s give each other a chance. It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again.”
He added, “This is the time to heal in America.”
Mr. Biden’s optimistic speech, flecked with references to faith and American history, came 48 years to the day after he was first elected a senator from Delaware. He spoke from a flag-bedecked stage outside the Chase Center on the Riverfront, an event center near the Christina River, where he invoked themes that shaped his presidential campaign.
The message, as it was throughout the campaign, was rooted more in a sense of values than in an especially ideological viewpoint, an approach that helped him build a broad coalition throughout the campaign but that will be tested in partisan Washington.
Yet Mr. Biden grew impassioned as he insisted that for all of the tensions in the country, Americans still wanted to see their leaders find common ground. He promised to bring steady leadership and experience to meet the staggering crises facing the nation, most prominently the coronavirus.
“What is our mandate?” he said. “I believe it’s this: Americans have called upon us to marshal the forces of decency, the forces of fairness, to marshal the forces of science and the forces of hope in the great battles of our time.”
Senator Kamala Harris, the vice president-elect, spoke first, telling voters that they had chosen “hope and unity, decency, science and, yes, truth.”
She invoked her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, who came to the United States from India at the age of 19, and paid tribute to the women “who throughout our nation’s history have paved the way for this moment tonight.”
“While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last,” she said. “Because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.”
Biden, Flipping Michigan and Wisconsin, Says It’s ‘Clear’ He Will Reach 270
The undecided presidential election entered a new phase on Wednesday as former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was declared the winner of Michigan and Wisconsin, two key swing states that President Trump won four years ago.
With its path to victory narrowing, the Trump campaign said that it would seek a recount in Wisconsin and announced that it had taken legal action seeking to halt the vote count in Michigan, one of a flurry of lawsuits that included joining an action challenging the extension of ballot deadlines in Pennsylvania and filing another seeking to segregate late absentee ballots in Georgia.
The Trump campaign’s string of challenges came as the president found himself with few ways to win the 270 electoral votes needed to be re-elected. By Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Biden was holding slim leads in several key states which, if the trend continues, could propel him to the critical Electoral College threshold and the presidency.
The lingering uncertainty of the 2020 campaign was perhaps unsurprising in an election with record-breaking turnout where most ballots were cast before Election Day but many could not be counted until afterward.
Mr. Trump’s chances of winning a second term depended on his ability to hang on to his leads in states like Georgia and Pennsylvania — where Mr. Biden has been narrowing the gap as vote counting progresses — and on overtaking Mr. Biden in one of the states where he is currently ahead.
With millions of votes yet to be counted across several key states — there is a reason that news organizations and other usually impatient actors were waiting to declare victors — Mr. Biden had narrow leads in Arizona and Nevada. If he can hold those states, the former vice president could win the election even without Pennsylvania, which has long been viewed as a must-have battleground state.
“I’m not here to declare that we’ve won,” Mr. Biden said in a speech Wednesday afternoon in Wilmington, Del., “but I am here to report that when the count is finished, we believe we will be the winners.”
Even before the Wisconsin race was called, the Trump campaign said that it would request a recount. Under Wisconsin law, a recount can be requested if the margin between the top two candidates is less than one percentage point.
Bill Stepien, Mr. Trump’s campaign manager, said in a statement that “the president is well within the threshold to request a recount and we will immediately do so.”
Mr. Stepien later claimed that the Trump campaign had not been given “meaningful access” to several counting locations in Michigan, and that it had a filed suit in the Michigan Court of Claims to halt counting until access was granted. Shortly after that he announced that the campaign would intervene in Pennsylvania. Later in the evening, the campaign said it was filing suit in Georgia seeking to get counties to separate late-arriving ballots from the rest.
Taken together, the legal actions threatened to slow the counting in states where Mr. Trump was projected to lose or in danger of losing.
One source of Mr. Biden’s resilience lies in the nature of the votes still to be counted. Many are mail-in ballots, which favor him because the Democratic Party spent months promoting the message of submitting votes in advance, while Mr. Trump encouraged his voters to turn out on Election Day. And in Pennsylvania, many of the uncounted votes are from populous urban and suburban areas that tend to vote heavily for Democrats.
Four years ago, Michigan provided one of Mr. Trump’s most surprising victories and helped him take back the Northern industrial states that had favored Democrats in presidential elections since the 1990s. In this election, Mr. Trump’s popularity took a serious hit with the coalition of white voters — independents, those who had an unfavorable view of him but supported him anyway, people with and without college educations — that helped secure his win in Michigan in 2016.
Even in Pennsylvania, where Mr. Trump had run up a daunting lead of roughly eight percentage points as of Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Biden had a plausible shot of catching up. Pennsylvania’s secretary of state said there were more than 1.4 million mail-in ballots still to be counted, and those votes are expected to heavily favor Mr. Biden.
Mr. Trump held leads in North Carolina and Georgia, and his campaign expressed hopes that his early Pennsylvania lead could withstand an influx of mail-in ballots for Mr. Biden. Then, if Mr. Trump were able to retake the lead from Mr. Biden in Arizona or Nevada, which has gone Democratic in recent elections, he would have a path to a second term.
Early Wednesday, Mr. Trump prematurely declared victory and said he would petition the Supreme Court to demand a halt to the counting. Mr. Biden urged his supporters — and by implication, Mr. Trump — to show patience and allow the process to play out.
