Scientists fear the hunt for a coronavirus vaccine will fail and we will all have to live with the 'constant threat' of COVID-19

The UK's Chief Medical Officer warned on Friday that there is "concerning" evidence suggesting that people can be reinfected with the virus.No vaccine has ever been approved for use against previous forms of coronavirus.

"The first question we do not know is 'do you get natural immunity to this disease if you have had it, for a prolonged period of time?'" Whitty said. Doubts about the possibility of a viable vaccine are based largely on the fact that no vaccine has ever been approved for use in the US or UK against other forms of coronavirus.

the organisation said in a statement that: "there is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection." "Some viruses are very, very difficult when it comes to vaccine development - so for the foreseeable future, we are going to have to find ways to go about our lives with this virus as a constant threat."

PANIC PORN

hblodget I hate living in Intetesting times

AdamBienkov and I believe that we're capable of achieving anything we want, we have the whole world fighting this and I BELIEVE we will beat it! Stop writing hopeless articles like these. You should be ashamed of yourself.

GitaGopinath how would you model for such a world ? Would your advice, in the event of a delayed vaccine or even worse no vaccine, be any different?

AdamBienkov What is the point of this article really? Many people around the world are living in fear right now and all we have is HOPE, but it's immature articles like these that can snatch that only hope we have. 'We may all have to live with the constant threat', shut the F%K up.

Your reporting is starting to emulate The Starr.

Follow me guyz 🙏🏾

Well then we should stop wasting time building herd immunity

That’s the spirit, science! Glass half empty is just the way to approach it

china must pay. in a sense.

💭☹️

Yea It Irks me so much when somebody says, “when we have a vaccine” why are we so certain it can be done.. also, what makes us think we’re entitled to get it. They’re going to charge people through the nose

This idiot CMO is seriously considering a partially effective vaccine? How would you even measure the effectiveness of something like that? Other than big money for pharma I don't see need for a half arsed vaccine with immeasurable results.

Viruse undergo genetic drift every 2 weeks... WHO says antibodies following infection won't prevent you from reinfection. As we are seeing people in China getting reinfected.. So how on earth this vaccine is going to work and if so for how long and how effective it will work

Deep joy 😕

Didn't the scientists told us 2 months ago it was no big risk and keep the borders open and planes in the sky? If nature realised such a bitch on us, just kill yourself now

Just like we learned to live with HIV only difference is we can identify who has COVID but HIV is top secret.

That's simply not the truth my dear friends at BI. That's not what's going to happen. So don't worry be happy. LOL. It's going to be alright. Follow me on Twitter. I Gotchu LOL XO camila_arnal

AdamBienkov Imho I remain hopeful yet realistic that holy grail may not prevail. With this in mind, lift lockdown. stop scaring people. If they display symptoms need test, treat, trace/contain. Listen PhilipHammondUK to ease lockdown. Kick start economy/business. RishiSunak probity, office

AdamBienkov This is worrying but has there really been such a need to find a vaccine before?

We STRENGTHEN OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM ... NOT JUST TESTING FOR COVID-19 !!! Vitamin D and Sunlight -boost our IMMUNE SYSTEM to fight COVID19 CORONAVIRUS per Immunologist Dr. SHIVA NOT VACCINE that doesn't work on RNA-VIRUSES !!!

just like in 1918.

Faithless

we do that today with the flu. yes this is more contageous and harms the elderly but we cannot go on living in fear forever. at some point we need to get away from this spirit of fear.

Let’s not incite panic. Report facts and allow folks to do what they can. Most people recover from the virus.

If this is the case then medication needs to be developed to help us manage it, particularly since reinfection seems to be a real possibility.

Some scientists or scientists across the board. I just know how picky some journalists are when it comes to talking about an entire group as if they were the same. I mean you could make sure your headlines are more politically correct instead of trying to get shock and awe.
