Considering Italy had ZERO cases of SARS, and no vaccine for SARS ever made it out of trials, I would take any claims that such a vaccine was widely deployed in Italy with a HUGE grain of salt. Are we to believe this same vaccine was also widely deployed in Spain? Clearly, there are a large number of people who want to cast doubt on ALL vaccines, and think vaccines are a huge global conspiracy.

There was a particular FluBro that was touting this SARS vaccine theory as the reason for the high mortality rate in Italy. For some reason they stopped posting it when the death rates in France and Spain started being competitive with Italy. At least I don’t recall seeing them post it lately.
“Clearly, there are a large number of people who want to cast doubt on ALL vaccines, and think vaccines are a huge global conspiracy.”
I ran into a FluBro on another thread who INSISTED that a vaccine could never be developed for this Coronavirus. He said, go read the papers for other Coronaviruses and you’ll see it’s just not possible.
I told him that dozens of companies throughout the world are working on vaccines right now and therefore I have two choices:
1) Take him at his word, without knowing a thing about him.
2) Spend a few hours looking up research work to decide for myself.
The problem with #2 is that there are literally thousands of people who have spent careers developing vaccines and, no-doubt, read all the research. They’ve obviously concluded that a vaccine is possible, or they wouldn’t be wasting their time on it. And I’m supposed to spend a few hours on it and become more qualified than those people?
I then said “You’re funny”.
He didn’t laugh.
