Credentialism aside, there were no sources provided. I do find the point about no SARS vaccine compelling, however. Is that true? I know the flu vaccine gets updated every year or so with new viruses that are prevalent, so if there is no SARS vaccine then I wonder if that is true and if it is true it couldn't be developed. Again, multiple things thrown out there without sources which are not common knowledge, followed by "you can look this up yourself".

I've only quickly searched, and to be honest it's a bit thick with foreign terminology for me to quickly glean much from it, but seems like this might be the paper the top-level commenter referred to: https://dx.doi.org/10.1128%2FJVI.02395-10 https://dx.doi.org/10.1128%2FJVI.02395-10 > I do find the point about no SARS [-CoV[-1]] vaccine compelling, however. Is that true? Wikipedia says so, and just gives essentially the same advice as being given for SARS-CoV-2 (or any human-transmissible virus, I imagine). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome#Prevention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndr...

Please do a cursory search. There have been thousands of papers about the virus and they are almost all severely dire. This information has been floating around for months. Many of the predictions in the papers are coming true. Like the absurdly high R0 value. It is increasingly obvious that China was not forthcoming with their numbers. Look at all these countries pissing away literal trillions of dollars shutting down. This is a real fucking plague.

  Please don't tell people to do a search. If you're going to provide information provide sources, otherwise you're no better than Russian disinformation bots. This is exactly the kind of tactic they use. If you have a claim, provide a source. You are currently spreading unhelpful misinformation.
