COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Promise
[The following is not a quote from the article. It is my commentary. -Aaron]
I think many seeing this post are under the impression that the world has seen nothing like COVID-19 before. The name of the virus that causes COVID-19 is SARS-CoV-2. SARS is an acronym for Severe Accute Respiratory Syndrome, and there was a SARS-CoV-1, the pathogen that caused the SARS mini-pandemic in 2002, which, incidentally, also stemmed from China.
So it should be no surprise that, contrary to most reporting on the subject, a vaccine could be rapidly developed, because labs have something with which to start, as is mentioned in the article. (That is also how a new Flu vaccine is rapidly developed each year.)
But I want to call attention to the fact that you have been allowed to believe that this virus is completely new, and that a vaccine was over a year or more away, and to consider the likelihood that if the efforts in the reporting of the established media were to inform and educate you, and not whip you into a frenzy of panic, you would not believe that this was brand new, and you would be relatively assured of the rapid advent of a vaccine. You would already know of SARS and MERS and that 30% of common cold cases are caused by corona viruses.
I also want to call attention to the lack of coverage of the Flu this season, of which the CDC estimates 24,000 to 60,000 in the U.S. alone have already died. The TV cameras are not focused on them, over 140 confirmed cases of which so far are children, suffocating to death from secondary pneumonia. The Flu is transmitted in the same manner as COVID-19, but you aren't being guilted into house arrest and losing your business, and your job, and into plunging your nation into depression and despotism to save them.
