I do have some concerns about a wuhan virus vaccine - the pressure is on to rush a vaccine to the american and world public. for a disease that more and more acts very much as an Influenza A virus acts. which also has its case mortality - but w do not shut down the economy and force people into homes, nor remove children from homes for incarceration/isolation as Democrats try to do. and sometimes succeed.
Vaccines must be carefully tested for efficacy and safety - and coronvirus is mutable and one tough virus to develop a vaccine - which is why we have no common cold vaccine.
Very unlikely to have major complications with a killed virus vaccine - there are occasional cases of polio from live virus polio vaccines - usually mild. And there is a national Vaccine Fund to cover such complications.
Should Americans be forced to receive a wuhan virus vaccine - Not until clearly safe and effective - and in the same class as vaccinations for schoolchildren.
We have forgotten about diseases and their death tolls - such as typhoid, polio, measles - that vaccines prevented - and the complications of vaccines are far less than the cost of the diseases - as populations with dminished her imunity are discoverinig - particularly in the anti-vaxxer northeast. and northwest.
We are about to learn a immunity lesson again - the hard way.
And - that is just part of the DPST religiosity of the anti-vaxxers - they are not reasonable with facts - they have their narrative - and it "Trumps" All.
unfortunately - I also think public health has taken a bloody nose with public opinion for nothing with Wuhan virus - and further isolation and "Testing" mantra the Democrats are pushing will have no impact on a virus that is "Out of teh box" - it is not controllable - and contact racing and testing onlyh works in very early epidemics - as in 2019 in wuhan - had the Chinese not been crippled by ideology and "FACE"!
Best to open up the economy - the vast majority of people only get at worst a very mild infection with Wuhan virus - and all isolation and support voluntarily for those people at risk of severe disease courses.
But the DPST's won't give up their population control measures - they do like their control - just watch the mayor of Chicago and her exercise in useless leadership!
"The cure must not be Worse than the disease"!
