through Phase !!!--- or even Phase II!

"Indeed, even with 10 vaccines already in clinical trials and more than 120 more in development, many experts are skeptical that a vaccine will be available early next year. Key trial phases can be delayed, and ultimately, the vaccines being tested now may not protect people against the virus. Millions of vaccine doses manufactured ahead of time could be thrown out."
CNN

Cautions optimism--- remembering that the failures far have outnumbered successes in past similar situations.
- The other confounding factor... - dark_dave56 09:18:17 06/03/20 (5)
  ...is that the majority of the vaccines that are the most advanced in the process are based on the genetic structure of the original virus isolates obtained from the initial outbreaks in China. We have already documented several different genetic "lineages" in Europe and the US. Depending on the degree of variation, the vaccines developed from these initial isolates may or may not be effective against the current prevailing strains of the virus.

    are doing more harm than good.
    
    Fact: NO one knows the time-to-market, efficacy, or length of efficacy of a potential vaccine.

        Yes "NO one" "includes you-know-who!", and includes you and me and... LOL
And the good news here... - Ivan303 08:14:36 06/03/20 (2)
is that as many as 40% of Republicans are now 'anti-vaxxers' and won't take the vaccine even if it is available.

Couple hundred million doses might be enough to cover the rest of us!
- although. . . many of the anti-vaxxers live in places like Marin County - Chris from Lafayette 12:29:21 06/03/20 (0)
  They have this hippie notion that if everything is "natural", all will be well! And, BTW (as you probably know), some of those hippies did go into the "real world" work force and became awfully rich! ;-)
