I read they have a few SARS vaccines, but non that have gone through human trials yet.
Side not: I'm always concerned when we're put in a situation like this where we're pressured to put out a vaccine quickly because it opens the door for a less than optimal solution to become a mainstay. For example since it's an emergency you may put forward a solution, have it go through human trials, find some side effect, but given the current circumstance say that it's "good enough" and give it the green light of approval. Now I understand that in such an urgent circumstance that this may be justified, but after the urgency is over it's my understanding that this solution that may or may not be approved under regular circumstances will remain approved.
- mrfusion 7y agoWhy should a given vaccine have more side effects than existing vaccines? It’s just broken up pieces of the virus. If produced properly and rendered inert Why should it trigger major side effects?
- vikramkr 7y agoBecause biology is complicated and it's never that simple. You could trigger too strong an immune response, no response at all, or you could end up with a situation like on dengue where the vaccine makes the disease worse (https://www.statnews.com/2019/05/01/fda-dengue-vaccine-restrictions/ https://www.statnews.com/2019/05/01/fda-dengue-vaccine-restr...)
