    lol, yeah they are very misinformed. There aren't any coronavirus vaccines as there hasn't been a need in the past. But there absolutely are dozens of labs around the world currently working on a vaccine for this strain, and given how simple of a virus it is I have no reason to believe that they won't be able to eventually come up with one. Fauci thinks the US will have one by the end of the year, although idk how accurate that prediction is, it may be well into next year by the time we have one ready to roll out.

      There actually was a vaccine being worked on in the past, it wasn't profitable and the project was disbanded iirc

      Edit: for a disease tangential to covid

        It could have been a vaccine for SARS, perhaps? It might have been disbanded once the pandemic died down after it mutated itself out of the spotlight. But who knows? I'm just spitballing here.
