Just so everyone is aware, there has never been a vaccine for ANY type of coronavirus. We have never successfully produced a coronavirus vaccine. So people holding out hope that we will have one to market anytime within the next year and a half are not being realistic.
Some companies are even SKIPPING animal trials before they move to humans... That's very bad.
Vaccines for SARS-CoV-1 all stalled before human trials because they caused serious side effects in animal studies.

Some of the vaccines even caused SARS-like diseases themselves!

This is why you need to test the shit out of vaccines before bringing to market in humans. Sometimes you cause horrible side effects. Sometimes you cause the very disease you are trying to vaccinate against. Vaccines are not simple or quick.
