Purely from a business perspective:
Wait, this makes me wonder. Isn't it in a lot of companies their best interest to pool money together for rapid COVID-19 research? If a cure is on the table ASAP, then governments will stop implementing harmful rules.
Or is it the case that it takes too long and no matter how you slice it, businesses will lose a lot of money either way? In other words, hypothetically: it doesn't matter whether there's a cure within 6 months from now versus 2 years from now.

There is no way you can have that information 2 weeks from now. (Unless we have some Star-Trek-level technology for simulating the effect of vaccine on a human's metabolism faster than real time, which is clearly decades if not centuries away.)
