Why does the vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 work so well but there was no vaccine at all and still isn't for SARS?
- CorrectHorseBat 6y agoHard to test the efficacy of a vaccine on an eradicated disease.
- hobofan 6y agoBecause mRNA tech for rapid vaccine development wasn't available back then and it didn't spread so far that there was political pressure for expedited trials. Now it is eradicated anyway.
- QuesnayJr 6y agoPart of why these vaccines were developed so quickly is that much of the preliminary work was done for SARS.
- bluGill 6y agoThe is/was several SARS vaccines. They never got to phase 3 trials, because of various problems. We learned enough from them to skip all the issues this time around.
- bagacrap 6y agowhat's the incentive to work on a sars vaccine? the outbreak was contained before a vaccine was approved so they stopped work.
