You can color me skeptical. A 3 month timeline is too good to be true, and the fact that this story hasn't even been picked up by fox news leads me to believe even right-wingers do too.
The story hasn't been picked up by any traditional news outlet lest another "lets try once more, once again, to rid the country of this "traitor, Russian agent" that might destroy our this time narrative of why.

It's also interesting that those who poo-poo the report are hoping it's not true. Not a single comment hoping it's true. Tells you more about the State of the Union than any speech.

It hasn't been picked up because at the moment just about everything on earth potentially cures the corona virus. Just so happens that the potential is so infinitessimally small there is no need to bother reporting it.
 
Yeah, but the stock market. Fiction is as good as reality.
That's probably it, Right-wingers think if the news doesn't report bad news, then stock prices won't go down. Which is insanely dumb. The news can get reported now and people can adjust their underlying assumptions about the value of stocks, or they can wait till companies report quarterly earning before making adjustments their cash flow, required return, and growth assumptions that drive share prices. Either way people are going to find out bad news that will drive share prices lower.

Up until the corona virus bad news was good news on Wall Street.

Breakthrough in coronavirus research results in new map to support vaccine design

Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin and the National Institutes of Health have made a critical breakthrough toward developing a vaccine for the 2019 novel coronavirus by creating the first 3D atomic scale map of the part of the virus that attaches to and infects human cells.

Mapping this part, called the spike protein, is an essential step so researchers around the world can develop vaccines and antiviral drugs to combat the virus. The paper is publishing Wednesday, Feb. 19 in the journal Science.

The scientific team is also working on a related viable vaccine candidate stemming from the research.

Jason McLellan, associate professor at UT Austin who led the research, and his colleagues have spent many years studying other coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. They had already developed methods for locking coronavirus spike proteins into a shape that made them easier to analyze and could effectively turn them into candidates for vaccines. This experience gave them an advantage over other research teams studying the novel virus.

"As soon as we knew this was a coronavirus, we felt we had to jump at it," McLellan said, "because we could be one of the first ones to get this structure. We knew exactly what mutations to put into this, because we've already shown these mutations work for a bunch of other coronaviruses."
