6. Vaccines take years to perfect.

Expert, Laurie Garret was on the 11th Hour this past evening and she said things that struck me as eye opening. She was asked about a vaccine to combat this virus. She stated that there is not enough research as to how long antibodies live after infection. That any vaccine will take years of human trials, and may not be permanent, say like Measles.

Because this virus is so new and ever changing in who it infects and kills, Ms. Garret was brutally honest in what she said that a vaccine cannot be rushed.
