I think POTUS is talking about vaccines right now to give a psychological life rope to that portion of the population who have been scared to death.
He knows there won't be a vaccine in 8 months; nor does he want one except to get the media to shut up right now; and, MORE IMPORTANTLY, get the country back on its feet.
I will cling to the idea that you are right :)

I agree...but, also, he’s playing Whack-A-Mole with the moving goal posts
We need ventilators before opening
We need hospital capacity before opening
We need PPE’s before opening
Flatten the curve
etc. ad nauseum

I think you are exactly right. There is a significant percentage of the population who are actually very afraid. I’ve talked to a couple and I got mindblown since I am not even slightly afraid nor was I. But people who don’t have the info we have, who watch/listen/read MSM drivel even if they don’t buy the whole package, who got the fear virus.
A CURE is coming out before the vaccine!
‘Cure’: Company claims coronavirus antibody breakthrough)
EXCERPT...
An antibody has been discovered that could shield the human body from the coronavirus and flush it out of a person’s system within four days, claims a California-based biopharmaceutical company,Fox News reported exclusively that Sorrento Therapeutics of San Diego will announce its discovery of the STI-1499 antibody, which could be available as a treatment months before a vaccine hits the market.
The company says the antibody can provide “100% inhibition” of COVID-19.
“We want to emphasize there is a cure. There is a solution that works 100 percent,” Dr. Henry Ji, founder and CEO of Sorrento Therapeutics, told Fox News. “If we have the neutralizing antibody in your body, you don’t need the social distancing. You can open up a society without fear.”
I hope he knows there will likely never be a vaccine - or more accurately a permanent COVID vaccine. Is there a permanent flu vaccine? The flu vaccine changes every year - AND it is an educated guess. Why?
Because, as I explained a few weeks ago, unlike germs, viruses tend to mutate; some mutate aggressively. They are not a single cell functioning organism like germs. They are complex molecular strings that have life qualities and mimic RNA / DNA strands. COVID-19 is just the latest manifestation of a virus known as 'coronavirus' - named, I presume, for its unique appearance.
I wonder if antibodies aren't the most promising path to trod. Rather than calculate the latest form of the virus, attack it on a broader level; antibodies might attack the generic coronavirus string without having to anticipate individual variations. In the 1918 flu pandemic great success was achieved by tranfusing blood from patients that had recovered from the virus because they contained successful antibodies.
I can't help but suspect that all this talk about vaccines is just a ploy to keep the economy crippled indefinitely.
