Mate, only flag I would give is - this virus mutates approx every two weeks. And it mutates to quite a degree (about 2x what the human genome does, if I recall right, and we're quite good at mutating as a successful species which has survived by adapting..) and so far seems to be becoming more dangerous (more transmissible, with better spikes on in, to punch into cells and infect them) So a vaccine developed for one form of the virus, may not be effective, or as effective, on later forms.

And it jumps from animals to humans, and back again, regularly (so good luck on elimination).

(check out what's happened between humans and minks at mink farms in the EU for a start..)

I think this is what SI was referring to when he said that there would be a continuing need for MSBs potential COVID ARDS treatment post any vaccine.

So yes - there's a vaccine now apparently (thank you Vladimir!) but let's see re efficacy.
