The one that just made headlines is pretty hard to ship and handle, requiring extreme refrigeration. That’s not going to make it into the hinterlands of the US, probably, much less even more difficult situations. And you have to get shot twice at two week interval, if I recall correctly. But 90% is a quite good figure.
It will come, in fact it may be that we already have it, but don’t realize it yet.
Why?
It’s going to end up being a cocktail of various inhibitors, antigens and B-lymphocyte activators. No one solution will be perfect, so a mixture of them will be necessary to achieve biological efficacy. Each one should work on a different mechanism in the Sars-CoV-2 virus that causes CoVid-19 Disease.
This is the same way that HIV was supressed.
Right now, the problem is, all drug companies are focused on their solution and trials are focused on the efficacy of said solutions. It will only be later that Microbiologists will determine mechanisms of effect and a Doctor somewhere will begin combining therapies to achieve better results.

The promise is there, it will take awhile to cross the finish line.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Premature celebration, methinks.
