Did the DARPA guy really say a coronavirus vaccine would get rid of the common cold? That seems like an oversell.
60 Minutes is not what it used to be. Like many other news sources they go for the quick stuff that has some shock value, IMO.
I have heard some speculation that the mRNA technology may allow for more universal vaccines for flue, covid, and others. How accurate that is, I don't know. I would take a look at specialized science publications to see what's up.

The extra immune firepower mRNA vaccines provide could also yield more durable protection. "We could probably generate a flu vaccine that could theoretically protect us for five years instead of just one," Pekosz says. Indeed, he believes the COVID-19 vaccine effort's success heralds a bright future in the fight against other pathogens.
