It took many years for those vaccines to be developed, tested and approved, on average it takes 10 years.
Yes…
I agree, all those vaccines I mentioned have taken years to develop. This new vaccine has been played with since the SARS outbreak in 2002. The fact that it’s a new approach is the reason for it’s rapid development. Not utilising the actual virus itself to stimulate protection is the key difference.
I’m not at all clinically minded at all, but I see it in the same way as the fuel injection system replaced carburettor. Something that worked well since it’s inception but fuel injection made the whole system more reliable and effective. Gone are the days off endlessly cranking your engine to flood the plugs etc. Now you just turn the key and go. I see this vaccine as that. Progress innit.
