[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 229525, member: 33"] This is precisely right. A standard process for making a new vaccine is to use a virus that is safe to human, insert a short inert protein chain from the Covid-19 virus into it and introduce it into people to see if they develop antibodies to it. The virus they use will have been used for many years in the past so will have a long record of being safe. If they were developing the vaccine completely from scratch then there would need to be a longer test period to see if side effects occurred after one or more years, but that isn't the case with the vaccines being developed now. The difference now is that much more resources are being thrown at Covid-19 research than has been the case for coronaviruses in the past which is accelerating progress and increasing the likelihood of finding a vaccine far sooner than has been the case in the past.
