Vaccines typically take years to develop. The only reason influenza vaccines can be cranked out within a few months is that the vaccine itself has decades of research and use so that changing it up for a new strain of influenza is a (relatively) minor effort. Coronaviruses, however, are not related to influenza and any vaccine effort has to start at step one. So, no matter how urgently we could use a vaccine, I wouldn't count on one being available any time soon (if at all).
Antibodies, on the other hand, only have to be shown to be effective--that they neutralize the virus. Methods for extracting antibodies from serum and preserving their activity have existed for decades. I think that antibodies probably have the potential to reach the clinic faster than any other treatment.
If anyone has people in the hospital with this..and at least one here does who is dying....
this is an interesting article that outlines possibly types of drugs that may help
CNN telling us that the “virus” is growing like weeds and even if we get it under control it will be back right before election, and it’s all Trump’s fault. Thanks for the warning CNN. But why would I ever believe anything you say? Hmmmmmm?
Has anybody asked this joker how many truly effective vaccines have been developed against RNA-based viruses?
I find it fascinating that those that believe that the world is over populated and something must be done about it are also the same ones that are calling for a vaccine the loudest.
When things don’t make sense, there is missing information.
