If we can get a vaccine in under 6 years it would be unprecedented. 2 years would be astonishing. Most take 8-10 to go from lab work to peoples arms.

Waiting for a vaccine is not a good long term strategy. If a country can lock down long enough to kill its own spread it can re-open its economy safely so long as international borders remain closed.

There are multiple vaccines in first round human safety trials.

Like, they've injected people with them.
