Coronavirus Vaccine may never be found according to Australian vaccine developer

Australian Vaccine developer professor says there may never be a vaccine against COVID-19.

Professor Ian Frazer, the immunologist who co-invented the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine which prevents cervical cancer, said a Coronavirus vaccine is going to be '' tricky''

He told news.coms.au that even though different countries where testing for vaccines, medical scientists did not have a model of how to attack the virus.

The professor of medicine at Queensland University, which is testing for COVID-19 vaccine said Coronavirus was similar to immunising against common cold.

He stated "The place where the virus lands outside of us and it tries to infect the cells within us.

Our immune system is inside of us. When it lands inside our lungs it tries to infect our cells and succeeds. Our immune system goes to fight the virus and that's why people get sick.

"If the immune system turns too strong it can cause damage into our lungs.

Professor Frazer also stated that coronavirus was less infectious and not as bad as the deadly Virus MERS, camel flu which broke in south Korea in 2015.

Mers is much nastier than coronavirus.

Prof Frazer explained the annual vaccines prepared against the winter flu by commonwealth serum laboratories (CSL) were not entirely effective.

Prof Frazer, who is currently developing vaccines for cancer, is working with a team of scientists on a trial for coronavirus patients.

He said for 99 percent of people got coronavirus it was a trivial illness but that was not the case for those in the vulnerable categories.
