available? yup. safe and effective? that's the real question.
I believe sufficient political pressure will be applied to the CDC and FDA to release some form of vaccine by year end, and big pharma will give it their best shot. My fear is the resulting product will only offer a modest (statistically significant) protection, along with some nasty side affects. The consumer will be left to wonder if it is worth taking. I hope I am wrong.
I'm waiting to be sure I get the one with the microchip.Even if they do, the conspiracy theorists, and anti-vaxxers will just shun it. So maybe they can just put it in the jets that are already making the “chemtrails” ;-)

We have zero, zip, nada information about this bug. Only generic 30 year old data that applies to all viruses.. "wash your hands".
How vaccines are developed has changed substantially, 20+ years of genomics for instance. So history may not be representative, e.g. “5ish years.”History does matter. A normal vaccine takes 5ish years. Fast tracking one (or more) to 18 months still puts this well into next year at the earliest.

But none of us here have any idea when/if there will be a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. The FDA has never approved any coronavirus vaccine before, so this would be the first - but there’s so much riding on getting past this outbreak, might happen.
Not sure why it’s relevant whether a bunch of non scientists “think” a vaccine will be developed in a given period of time.

10-large is not nearly enough for anyone brave enough to take one step forward.Yeah, offer compensation of 10 grand and volunteers will line up at the door.
Not for us eh? But there's a lot of people for whom 10 grand is a fortune!

Could be, but you need to have about 60-65% of the population exposed before herd immunity is approached. Latest estimate of the percentage of the U.S. population exposed so far is about 5%. So it would take a few years, minimum, to get to 60% - unless all social distancing is dropped now, in which case it wouldn't take nearly as long.
