Political leaders everywhere, sweating on getting us to the other side of the pandemic, boldly promise it’ll happen within 12 to 18 months. But why should they be so optimistic? After all, vaccines normally take decades to formulate and manufacture, and quite often success never comes. As Liam Bartlett finds out, some scientists say talk of a coronavirus vaccine is not only raising false hope, it’s fake news.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Saturday that as parts of the state have started reopening, “you’re going to see an increase in the numbers, but you don’t want to see a spike.” Watch his remarks.
