ot use a viral vector. Developing immune response to the viral vector could be a real problem, especially when a booster is required.

anslation or he has a screw loose. Given Australia's history of vaccine dev elopment, it's probably the latter.
st commonly found to be entry points of the viral infection. Polio uses the intestine for example. The animal test being performed on the corona virus candidates are directly challenging the lung tissues of the animals, using some kind of ventilator arrangement where they can precisely control the v iral mega-dose. This was done in the case of the macaques anyway. The DNA v accine test on the mice was probably the same. The mice are a good animal m odel because they're famously susceptible to developing a raging pneumonia that kills them dead very, very quickly. So it's quite the test and quite a n accomplishment to save them, not just from death, but from even showing s ymptoms. I don't think durability of immunity is an issue, in the developed world anyway, since people can just a get booster periodically. People usi ng the viral vector type vaccine, like the over-hyped Oxford vaccine, most likely will not be eligible for a booster. People using the DNA vaccines ad ministered via electroporlation will not have that limitation.
Well I hope you're right. I searched for Fauci's Jan. 20th statement that NIH was already working on a vaccine and found it.
The same article includes quotes from other vaccine researchers who thought coronavirus would be an easy target. But AIUI a coronavirus vaccine has been long-sought and still never done. I don't know who's right.
Since the Wuhan Surprise infects the lungs' surface, I wonder about topical treatments, or even topical vaccines (as in, 'inhale a whiff of these nanoWuhanbits, to fool your immune system into making SARS-CoV2 antibodies').
I've had great luck treating sinus & throat infections topically, mostly with salt water. It a) physically washes pathogens away, and b) hypersalinity kills the critters surprisingly efficiently. It's not usually enough to win the war, but it takes about 90% of the heat off the battle, reducing the pathogen load essentially instantly.
