One issue is how long immunity lasts for this virus. If immunity only lasts for a short time, we will be living with this virus for the foreseeable future. Why isn’t this being discussed? If the vaccine raises antibodies, it will have an effect. But if the virus mutates or we lose our immunity, we are in trouble.
It is not clear at the moment that getting the virus actually makes you immune to it down the road. If that remains true and if it’s not clear a vaccine won’t make people immune, what then? Has anyone thought that through?
The reality is, we are probably all going to get Covid-19 and we’re all going to keep getting it.
Scientists have been trying to get a vaccine for HIV for the last 30 years and they have not managed it yet. There is a reason for that, and it is probably the same reason why they may not get a vaccine for this.
