re: What if there is never a vaccine?

The vaccine, if we develop one will likely be no more effective than a conventional flu vaccine......

We guess as to the next season's flu strain in order to lead with a vaccine. If we guess wrong or more than one strain circulates, the flu shot is ineffective. Flu also is quite mutable, adding to the challenge.

In the case of a CV19 vaccine, we're not guessing as to the virus. CV19 is less prone to mutation. Finally, if Jenner Institute findings hold, an HCoV vaccine targeting spike proteins might not even need to be specific for CV19, which is very encouraging.

Finally, even if the thing was only 60% effective, widespread application would generate de facto herd immunity.

So...like this one?

I don’t care if there is. I won’t be taking it any time soon. And I’m not even close to an anti-vaxer except with this one.

One of the strangest and most disturbing items during this was Bill Gates being given a voice and platform as some medical expert, (almost) demanding that ~7 billion people receive a vaccine that, as of now, does not exist.

I would prefer he stay in his lane and do something about the never-ending spinning circle associated with his software updates.
