Precedent - Influenza - suggests that large scale highly effective Vaccines are possible
But influenza isn't a coronavirus. There has never been an effective vaccine against any human coronoavirus to date. That's not a great precedent.
Brommers-
But influenza isn't a coronavirus.
Oh really? Never would have thought!
(If you think my understanding of this is so limited, if I were you I simply wouldn't have replied.)
There has never been an effective vaccine against any human coronoavirus to date.
Yes, because we've had no reason to do it - who's going to work on that when they could work on Cancer?
Now this thing is bigger than Cancer. Cancer, AIDS, Dementia, Malaria, Heart Disease, Alzheimers.... everything.
That's not a great precedent.
It's better than a complete absence of any large scale effective vaccine I think.

Yeah that's because you are glass half fulling.
Mrs. Howard works in medical research and pretty much everything non-Covid has dried up, or has taken on a Covid angle. Nobody is interested in anything else right now. And the enormity of the prize for cracking this should provide ample motivation for anyone who can work on this to work on this. Precedent - Influenza - suggests that large scale highly effective Vaccines are possible. Until there is evidence to suggest a Vaccine cannot be developed, I'm happy to believe we are on the way.
