They’ve been working unsuccessfully for decades on vaccines for herpes, the common cold and a bunch of other diseases. Anyone who thinks that a vaccine for Corona virus will be ready in a few months or even a year, is delusional.

They’ve been working unsuccessfully for decades on vaccines for herpes, the common cold and a bunch of other diseases. Anyone who thinks that a vaccine for Corona virus will be ready in a few months or even a year, is delusional.

You do realize that about 30% of common colds are caused by coronaviri, right? It'll end up just like the flu shots for influenza:
There'll be a 40% chance that the powers that be correctly guess the strains coming out next year, so the shot will only be so effective. Maybe higher than influenza, since there's fewer human coronaviri strains, but the guess still isn't 100%. Less than 50% of the populace will get them, and you'll probably still get sick at some point despite getting the shot. Of course, all the 'cases' and deaths will be combined into the normal CDC-guesstimated "flu deaths" count, but with a slightly higher multiplier than the flu currently gets.
