One Vaccine to Rule Them All

'What if a single vaccine could protect us against SARS, MERS, COVID-19, and every other coronavirus-related disease, forever and ever?'

“This virus is going to hang around for another couple of years before the world suppresses it, if we’re lucky,” [Anthony] Fauci told me. “I can’t guarantee that we’ll get a universal vaccine in place for this virus, but certainly we need it for the next one.”

"“Rather than playing whack-a-mole with each new problematic variant,” [Fauci said] “it just makes sense to me to use all of our capabilities to really go for a universal SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.”

"A universal SARS-CoV-2 vaccine may prove necessary to end this pandemic. It’s also possible that the current generation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will hold up pretty well, and we’ll require only a basic booster here and there. But even when this particular coronavirus has been suppressed, we’ll still need to find a way to protect ourselves against others that lie in wait."



How to create a vaccine that works against non-existent strains of corona virus? What does it require to make it happen?


"“The real issue is better understanding the universe of coronaviruses,” says Wayne Koff, a biochemist and the head of the Human Vaccines Project...."

"Koff estimates that the governments of the G7 nations would have to come together with the private sector, the World Health Organization, and nonprofits such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in order to make the system work."

Got it...Fauci and Gates and China [aka WHO] What could possibly go wrong?
