Although you hear different predictions about how long a vaccine will take to be developed and produced in quantity it is important to recognize that the ONLY ones who say it will be ready in a few months are either politicians, economists, or others who have a vested interest in keeping people from turning against the government.
Right now we are seeing the results of thousands of lies coming from the president - virtually no one with a room temperature IQ actually believes anything he says about this pandemic threat.
But while all the actual experts say it will be as much as a year or more before a vaccine can be developed and produced in sufficient quantity to be effective.
NOW FOR THE REALLY BAD NEWS
This is a coronavirus but we already have a great deal of experience with another coronavirus known as the common cold.
What we all know about the common cold is that there has never been a successful vaccine produced and that you can get a cold several times in a year.
That's because vaccines trigger the immune system and with the regular yearly flu, your system is prepared to fight a viral attack by the flu if you have had the vaccine, or even if you have had several earlier bouts of the flu over the years.
That's because many virus infections leave the body prepared to fight a new attack and that immunity lasts for years.
But that isn't true for a coronavirus such as the current one. Immunity may only last weeks at best if you catch it and get over it.
A vaccine would produce even less in the way of immunity and would probably be virtually ineffective even after being produced.
