15. What "few weeks of data"?

May 2022

It is now over 2 1/2 years later, we are going through what is a 7th wave, and are still arguing about "masks".

And as a note, "coronaviruses" have been around for probably eternity and there was a previous outbreak of what was dubbed "SARS CoV-1" over a decade ago (2003), where much of the research on the current vaccines for SARS CoV-2, came as a result of that earlier outbreak of SARS CoV-1, and that is why the current vaccines came out so quickly.

Coronaviruses are part of a group of viruses that co-mingle with rhinoviruses and others that make up the "common cold", but can obviously mutate into something pretty nasty.
