Re: Vaccine development: COVID-19 vs HIV/AIDS
There is a joke which fits the question how long it takes to develop a vaccine:
One woman is pregnant for 9 months before giving birth to a child.
How long does it take 9 women to give birth to a child?
The point is, there are processes in research (personal experience) that cannot be sped up by throwing money or man-hours at them.

Or how about moving the 'Everything Else' forum to second place in the queue, instead of way down yonder.
The 'Everything Else' forum has more posts (granted, not lately) than all the other forums put together (Threads = 2,110 Posts = 19,633) ... except the Sawatdee Gay Thailand forum of course.

"However, no one should use that as a basis to complain that there isn't a HIV vaccine, as HIV a completely different family of viruses, prone to all sorts of mutations & much more difficult to deal with."
The two PeRP medications are very effective in preventing HIV. But you must take one pill each day forever. So not like getting your annual Flu Shot. But the nearest thing we have to a Vaccine.

That worked out well ...
Flooding? This thread has 33 posts and 1641 views, and good wishes for that. As for my lowly part, my 3 posts were conjured up in a thin puddle, hardly a flood.
As for Mods, I think I'll stay here. As for you, carry on with your hyperbole.
