not a vaccine expert but this looks p decent, no obvious flaws in the manuscript https://twitter.com/R_H_Ebright/status/1252984620242665473
just because it works in monkeys doesn't mean it would work in humans ofc
and it would be nice to know how long immunity lasts
hopefully they have a cohort they're looking at for longer term

but in general I think people saying it's likely we won't have a working vaccine in the next year or two are far too pessimistic
I think >50% odds we find something that works, prob within 6-12 months

and earlier is not out of the realm of possibility
*knowing* that it works will take time ofc, and the logistics of scaling up production and delivery are non-trivial
hopefully gates' massively parallel approach will help with this

full on vaccination campaign by late fall/winter is prob best case scenario, not insanely optimistic but def on the optimistic side
