The SARS-1 virus has been known for 15+ years now, and vaccine trials resulted in vaccine-induced infection aggravation (see also here). There is some reasonable concern that vaccination for COVID could trigger the cytokine storm effect. It doesn’t help that the novel coronavirus is already mutating, which ” raises the alarm that the ongoing vaccine development may become futile in future epidemic if more mutations were identified.” Coronaviruses are hard to fight.
I can’t remember the term it’s antibody specific amplification or something, but some promising vaccines will actually make you more susceptible.
I think we will likely get some acceleration out of heroic volunteers, if not in the US then elsewhere.
