I remember all the labs racing to claim vaccines for SARS and MERS too. More like a race to secure funding. Vaccine has been repeatedly stated to be 12-18 months away. Same thing was said about SARS but 17 years later we still dont have one. I do think we'll see one but that 18 month timeline seems optimistic.Still trying to make sense of this. Any vaccine first of all has to be safe. Hundreds of millions of not upwards of a billion dosages could be given. It has to be safe. While some countries getting hit hard may be willing to take higher chances, Europe and the US aren’t going to go through with a vaccine with multiple major side effects.
