Vaccine development usually take years even in the best cases.

  Current processes for vaccine development take years. If you're happy to have a significant chance of infecting the target with the thing you're trying to protect them from, you can make one in an afternoon with 18th century tech. Considering that a major disease outbreak could kill millions, I think we should reconsider this approach. Thousands of people might die to perfect the vaccine making process, but thats better than millions dying from the disease.
