@Honey what gets me most of all, there is not a single scientist that has shown to me that scientists have a complete, and I mean COMPLETE understanding of the virus. They're unable to make predictions. In South Africa their prediction was a second flare up only in our autumn winter months in April. The flare up started at end of November - the middle of summer. And it's now the worst it's ever been before. No longer a flare-up but a raging pandemic.
So how can a virus like this, that is not fully understood by scientists, even what the strains are or where they are going to end up, have a vaccine that will work well. Some of the scientists say that having the vaccine doses once is not enough. It would have to be repeated in a year's time. But how do they calculate or define "in a year's time"? Like for me the statement says, short-term plastering over a strategy that doesn't have a complete grasp of the problem. I read somewhere else that those who have had the virus have anti-body counts decreasing after 3 months and there is a good chance they can get the virus again. So for me that means with a vaccine one would have to have the same expectation. Lasting 3 months and then needing a repeat dose continuously.
So now I can't help wonder about a conspiracy theory here. As some large pharmaceutical companies are about to make huge sums of money indefinitely.
