This Week's UPDATES

Skipping the opening intro for the 7-Day Round-Up was failed experiment because trying to put it afterwards did not make a lot of sense to me. So, I'm going to keep it brief this time around, maybe include a little joke like they do in monologues on late-night talks shows and Saturday Night Live. All the viewers of KlicK Net have to do is help themselves to what's down below even though there's nothing real fun to look, expect for one (or two) thing(s).

WWE Survivor Series is just one week away, and there's a lot of uncertainty in the air about where the company will go from there. There have been rumors that WWE will move its original March date for WrestleMania next year and push somewhere else a month later in April, also "The Greatest Spectacle in Sports Entertainment" could come back to the place it was scheduled to be this year, the Raymon James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida for 2021, and a have several fans in attendance should the pandemic be under control in the US by then. Earlier this week, it was revealed that The Weeknd would be headlining the Pepsi Super Bowl LV Halftime Show in Tampa Bay, but that event is met with uncertainty as well. The NFL season has reached the halfway point and very soon we will know who will the first team to make to the NFL Playoffs and if they withstand the surge of COVID-19 this winter. Let's see what on the menu for NFL Week 10 and an update on the Survivor Series match card in another Max Sports rundown.

Our Main Story this week is a new update on the potential of a COVID-19 vaccine, I've been saving this one since last Monday. The pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced that its vaccine, in partnership with BioNTech in Germany, is effective in preventing COVID-19 infection in more than 90% of people. 90% is really good number, I would say do because there's still a chance that we can get this pandemic under control and bring the world back to where it was at the very earliest of 2020. Based on new initial data from a large study, this should help Pfizer stay on track to file an emergency use application with US regulators. I'm no expert on health issues, medicine or deadly viruses, so I don't know all the facts about this vaccine and what will  happen once it's distributed. Let's go to some real experts in a special edition of the Web Choice playlist right before a mini #TwitterTrend as such.

The New York Times @nytimes
Breaking News: Pfizer said early data showed its vaccine was more than 90 percent effective in preventing Covid-19, pushing the company to a lead in the vaccine race.
Frank Jordans @wirereporter
Pfizer says an early peek at data for a vaccine it's developing with BioNTech suggests the shots may be 90% effective at preventing COVID-19, indicating the company is on track later this month to file an emergency use application with U.S. regulators.

Matthew Lesh @matthewlesh
This is EXCELLENT news.

Matthew Lesh @matthewlesh
"Pfizer and BioNTech said the case split between vaccinated individuals and those who received a placebo indicated a vaccine efficacy rate of above 90% at seven days after the second dose."

Michaƫl Szadkowski @szadkowski_m
"Pfizer plans to ask the FDA for emergency authorization of the two-dose vaccine later this month, after it has collected the recommended two months of safety data. By the end of the year it will have manufactured enough doses to immunize 15 to 20 million people."

Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis
Interim analysis (RCT still ongoing) reveals Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine prevented more than 90% of infections in study with tens of thousands of subjects. We must wait a bit longer for final efficacy and for safety data.

Dara Kass, MD @darakass
