“It is a great day for science. It is a great day for humanity.”

Those were the words of Pfizer CEO Albert Boula, following the announcement of his company’s breakthrough in Phase 3 coronavirus vaccine trials — which show 90 percent efficacy. 

Pfizer and BioNTech announced the news in a joint press release on Monday that sent stocks skyrocketing, along with our hopes and those of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Boula appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box Monday to celebrate the news.

“When you realize that your vaccine has a 90 percent effectiveness, that’s overwhelming,” Boula said. “You understand that the hopes of billions of people, and millions of businesses, and hundreds of governments that were felt on our shoulders. Now, we can credibly tell them: I think we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.”

The Pfizer chief executive went on to lay out his goals for production schedule. He also rebutted and dismissed a theory floated by Donald Trump Jr. that Pfizer timed the announcement for after Biden was declared winner in order to hurt President Trump's reelection chances.

Boula was on for an extended appearance, over thirty minutes of air time on the morning of a huge announcement.

CNBC’s Meg Tirrell, Joe Kernan and Becky Quick conducted the lengthy, engaging, and informative interview. It was a major get for the show on arguably one of the biggest days we've seen for both business and the pandemic in a long time.

Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade on Monday gave air time to the conspiracy theory that a computer and program named “Hammer” and “Scorecard” were used to push votes from President Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

Kilmeade was outlining that Trump is "not content” with the results being “so close in many of these battleground states.”  He then went into the supposed areas of concern.

"'There’s a software called Hammer and Scorecard used to flip votes from Trump to Biden,'" he said, quoting Michael Flynn’s lawyer Sidney Powell, who had previously floated the theory on Maria Bartiromo's show. Powell also brought it to Lou Dobbs Tonight, saying there is a "likelihood that three percent of the vote total was changed in the pre-election voting ballots" by the "Hammer program and a software program called Scorecard.”

“That would have amounted to a massive change in the vote that would have gone across the country and explains a lot of what we’re seeing,” said Powell in that segment.

"Is that indeed true?" Kilmeade said this morning. "Don’t you think if you’re the President of the United States you’d like to find out?”

The Daily Beast reported that the Hammer and Scorecard conspiracy theory originates with ex-intelligence contractor Dennis Montgomery, who has been described as a “con man” and “fraudster" among other unflattering things. Today is the fourth day his conspiracy theory aired on a Fox program.
