I don't like how this article discusses vaccines.
As I understand it there are experimental results for vaccines which provide protection against SARS-CoV: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18018769 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18018769 - though I understand that some trials of particular vaccines have resulted in immunopathological reactions which is obviously not ideal.
For MERS-CoV, there also appear to be some promising results: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(19)30397-4/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3...
I don't think the vaccine front is as hopeless as made out and the comparison to the common cold doesn't fit very well - aren't there a huge number of possible causes (hundreds of serotypes of rhinovirus - not just coronavirus?) that can result in what we know as the "common cold"?
