By Will Horner and Paul Vigna U.S. stocks fell amid concerns about Covid-19 vaccine distribution and the pace of the economic recovery, while investors also parsed a bumper day of earnings reports. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 424 points, or 1.4%, and the S&P 500 dropped 1.8%. The Nasdaq Composite lost 1.6%. Delays in the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines, coupled with lingering lockdown measures, marked a double whammy of bad news for investors, said Hani Redha, a portfolio manager at PineBridge Investments. I think the market expected that by now we would be talking about loosening, not tightening restrictions, he said. On the vaccine rollout, this is very problematic for the near term. It is very critical for shaping the growth bounce back, and these issues are just adding more delay to that.
