Well we have good vaccines for pneumonia, and the flu. We don't have any vaccine for corona.

Actually flu vaccines have greatly varied in their effectiveness

. In the past 10 years, the most effective vaccine was in 2010-11 when it was 60% effective. The least effective was the vaccine from 2014-15 when it was estimated to be only 19% effective...The CDC says the vaccine can help reduce the severity of the flu once you get it. - https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/verify-how-effective-is-the-flu-vaccine/507-877d77c9-d405-49ac-a6cf-875000114367

And as for the Coronavirus, tests on vaccine are ongoing as we speak, yet i think there are different strains.

Comparatively speaking then, what would the death toll be if there was not a "good" vaccine for the flu? Just think how many in the US would have died above these numbers listed.
