A vaccine is an additional measure to control the virus. It won’t ever be “gone”. If people think we are just going wear masks and all this stuff forever we’ll that’s not gonna happen. |

It won’t be like the flu vaccine. This isn’t mutating like influenza this far so it should be pretty solid at getting an immune response
Biggest issue is gonna be getting it mass produced and out |

Corona viruses don’t have the rate of mutations that influenza viruses do
They’re targeting specifically the spike protein as the antigen which is the most stable sequence iirc I don’t think it will be an issue. The bigger issue again will be production at first, then whether it’s needed again. Antigenic drift is possible though |

Theoretically, you won’t need to vaccinate the majority at that point anyway. If you’ve already had it an recovered you’d go to the back of the line
Or if you’re dead you probably don’t need a vaccination |

Except it won’t. The mass hysteria around this thing isn’t going to subside until reported cases are near zero. People are fist fighting over not maintaining six feet and people have been shot for not wearing a mask

We may end up needing a booster here I know there was some talk about that but last I saw the couple big vaccines in phase IIi were producing quite strong enough of a response it wasn’t likely to be needed |

As long as you realize that what you said is a lot of hope at this point. There’s absolutely no guarantee a vaccine will solve this. It is guaranteed that we can’t go on like this forever. Suicide rates are up. All but the biggest of corporations are being financially ruined. People are injuring each other over not having a piece of paper over their mouth.

Vaccination won’t necessarily be the silver bullet
Paired with better therapeutics and the fact that a large amount of people have had it and will have immunity will get us past it We definitely can’t go on like this forever. It’s why the hammer and the dance wasn’t ever gonna be feasible. Political capitol and such isn’t endless |
