From article:

 

AstraZeneca has said it has the capacity to manufacture 1bn doses of the University of Oxford’s potential Covid-19 vaccine and will begin supply in September if clinical trials are successful.

 

Trump had a cure for it... until it was proved worthless. You may also wish to let volunteers vaccinate first. Some side effects take years to be seen.

The fastest ever vaccine developed up to now was mumps and took 4 years. Wonderful if it can be done significantly faster than that but governments should not be basing their strategies on potential vaccines In 2020 or early 2021.

Mumps vaccine was developed in the 60s. Now, it's 2020. Give the 50 years of scientific advancement in between some credit. Not to mention the incentive of an enormous pot of gold waiting for the first vaccine to market (see billionaire profs already made by Moderna). I'll wager the Guardian article is going to prove accurate.

There is a first for everything. Technology has come leaps and bounds, plus the extra investment and urgency of this vaccine...first trials are "promising" the new normal may actually be the old normal a lot sooner than we think

What happens when the virus mutates like all corona virus do and this vaccine no longer works ?

 

Seems to good to be true but I’m praying it isnt.

The virus has already mutated to a small degree, that's the cycle of viruses...dosnt necessarily mean a vaccine would be redundant
