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.

I would have thought SARs was a reasonable warning! Although I obviously have no idea if a SARs vaccine had been found whether it would provide any help finding a Sars-Cov-2 vaccine.

Try getting money for research that might not yield anything for a disease that statistically nobody gets.
