Well over 3 million people.

Not quite.
One of the many and principal reasons that a vaccine is urgently needed - is the virus's propensity to mutate.
It has already has mutated, more than once - and new strains are often more virulent than predecessors.
And could lead to a second wave - something which would be catastrophic for the world at large.
Consequently, the vaccine is urgently needed - not only to cure those infected - but to counteract the armageddon danger.
Our knowledge about the virus is still sparce - we don't know where it came from, have no cure - or idea of its potential.

Like MERS and SARS, the coronavirus has been fast to mutate - making it potentially more dangerous.
Than its legacy so far illustrates - nearly 10 million infections and getting close to 500,000 deaths.
Some viruses though - don't mutate, such as measles. The same vaccine we received as a child, is still working.
For the world to stop seeking a vaccine - and ignore further mutations - would be foolhardy in the extreme.
As the World Health Organisation, Royal College of Surgeons and British Medical Association all agree.

On the one hand you say that a cure is not needed
For a trifling matter - affecting 1 or 2 percent
And on the other - you support a massive spend for a vaccine
Contradiction and confusion is alive and very well

As promised, I am retired on this subject Barney.
I would though urge you to read more carefully before decifing on your replies; as what you state I have stated is simply untrue.
Perhaps I can urge you into Covid retirement with me Barney?
Meet you in the slipper and pipe section of John Lewis Kingston next week, followed by an app-ordered pint and shouting convivially at one another across tables in a pretty pub in the Surrey Hills?

Wyot - I'd like to meet, really.
But would have some concerns.
That you'd later deny that you invited me...
