Let's hope they get to the finish line first. It's a shame that back in 2004 a safe vaccine wasn't perfected for SARS. It was abandoned and funding discontinued when SARS quickly faded away. The big threat of a global pandemic was thought to be influenza, and probably rightly so at that time. Coronaviruses were put on the 'back burner' and no one, unfortunately saw this coming in such a contagious manner. If a SARS vaccine would have been perfected (and that's a big 'if'), then what we are facing today (SARS-CoV2) is so similar that tweaking an existing SARS vaccine could have been accomplished quickly. If anything good is going to come out of this, IMO is when this has finally passed the work towards an "all-in-one" coronavirus inoculation will be front and center and possibly one vaccination can provide immunity to all future coronaviruses. It's a wish and a prayer, but it provides hope for the future.

As are a couple of other pharmaceutical companies as well.
