So the last two years of vaccines were a waste, right ? We could just made a vaccine from the cold virus ?

Not really, they haven’t been able to make a vaccine for the common cold for decades.

getting a cold prevents a cold.

"Previous infection with common cold coronaviruses — these are distantly related cousins of SARS-CoV-2 which causes COVID-19 — infection with those might induce T cells that would be able to cross-recognize and then attack the SARS-CoV-2 virus. That was the theory that we set about to test," report co-author Ajit Lalvani, chair in infectious diseases at Imperial College London, said in an interview with VOA.

So, the lockdowns were to keep people from getting colds?

A cold is in the family of coronavirus.

Not in the sense of a vaccine.
They should have just let things run their course. The hyper-cleaning everything wiped out others, that could have been beneficial.

something is missing here. Who hasn’t had a cold? Do they mean someone who recently had a cold? I usually have 1 or 2 colds a year, and with me they are rough. Since wearing a mask and sanitizers .. zero colds

“We could just made a vaccine from the cold virus ?”
No, we have never made a successful vaccine using/against the cold virus (really the coronavirus strains of “common cold” type), because we just can’t do it. By the time you could manufacture a potential vaccine, the coronavirus would have already mutated into a different form and your vaccine would be ineffective.
Which is also one of the reasons that the vaccines against COVID were doomed to fail.

I got a terrible "flu" after familly visited over Thanksgiving in 2019 from the Seattle area and the little kid had a cough, and funny nose, etc....I was sick with everything for 8 days...
so I might have had "it" but otherwise, I worked on a hospital floor with covid patients, even though I didn't take direct care of them, I'm overweight, diabetic, and have high blood pressure supposedly....
except for that 2019 illness, I've been well...so has this household...no vaxx...no covid.

I’m reading that folks are hoarding all the cold medicines now because they can help ward off Covid.

I credit my immunity to my Celtic and West Germanic Neanderthal haplotype. And that really bad flu I had in 1967. I have been in multiple COVID spreader events, air travel a lot, in households with people with COVID, and if I had it, it was so mild I didn’t notice.

Guess it didn’t work for me.
I’ve had many colds over my life. Surely one of them was a coronavirus.
Got COVID-19 last year.

There are two coronaviruses that cause the common cold. Another one caused bronchitis and a fourth caused pneumonia.
