If antivirals had seen the same success as antibiotics, this would be a different picture.
And as of yet there still is no common-cold vaccine.

Antibiotic resistance plasmids are spreading throughout various bacterial populations. Yikes. But that's another discussion.
I doubt whether there will ever be a common-cold vaccine. So many different viruses cause colds; a vaccine would have to be developed for each one.
