You cannot rush these sorts of things.  Vaccines need to be proven safe before they're given out.  It could take several years for that.

I'm not about to jump on board with a vaccine until it's been proven safe.

And how long are you willing to wait?

Five years?

Ten?

Fifty?

The more people that we can get immunized against this virus, the better for ALL of humanity.

As soon as a vaccine becomes available, I'll be at my doctor's office first thing in the morning to get it.

Enough of this karp!

I am saying prayers that they will be successful in a relatively short period of time.  Also crossing fingers, legs, heck I will even do a rain dance ammended into a successful vaccine dance if necessary.

But the on the practical side, there still isn't a vaccine for SARS even though they have worked on it for around 17 years now.  

Some areas in Europe, China, and here in the U. S. are already in animal trials on some format of a vaccine.  So hopefully they are learning quite a bit.  And then we have the study conducted on humans that is taking place in Washington.

What is on our side this time, different than SARS or MERS, is that China isolated the strain quickly, obtained the genome & released the genome sequence to the world in early Jan.  That facilitated scientists to jump into researching a vaccine pretty quickly.

And due to the pandemic impacting so many countries there is quite a bit of funding out there to support the vaccine research and trials. 

And hopefully, research that has been conducted on working on a SARS vaccine can also be applied working on the vaccine for the 2019 novel strain of coronavirus.

Thank you for this response.  A voice of reason...

It's just like with the polio vaccine.

We almost had it eradicated, until the anti-vaccers got it in to the heads that it was a "bad" vaccine.

I guess they like being sick and making others sick, too.

All just make some "point".

I'm not sure you're understanding the point.  Choosing to not get a vaccine when it's been proven safe is one thing.  Choosing not to get a vaccine until it's been proven safe is another. 

I will wait as long as I feel comfortable waiting.

so you're willing to wait years, and while you're waiting, risk getting the virus.

Okay.

None of this is up to us. The timeframes are not in our hands. It freaks me out too! It worries all of us.

I think it is wonderful that you are willing to put yourself forward for human trials -- if you are able and qualify. If you were selected you would be doing everyone a service. And of course you realize that there would be risks to doing that and that the experimental vaccine might not be effective.
