No vaccine to be ever found for disease which is less infectious and not as deadly as MERS
There will never be a vaccine for this virus.

“Coronavirus doesn’t get into you, it stays on the surface cells in your lungs. All these flu viruses get into you, so the body can fight and makes T cells.

“This virus doesn’t kill the cells, it makes them sick. At the moment we don’t know how to make a coronavirus vaccine work.

“That’s why there are 100 vaccines under testing using every conceivable approach.

“We don’t know if any of them will work.”

Prof Frazer said coronavirus was less infectious and not as deadly as MERS, the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome or camel flu which broke out in South Korea in 2015.

“MERS … was very efficient infecting and making people sick,” he said.

“One person who went to South Korea from the Middle East infected 170 people and a third of those died.

“He went through four hospitals before he was diagnosed, but in South Korea they were very effective with contact tracing.

“MERS is much nastier … than coronavirus.”

Prof Frazer explained the annual vaccines prepared against the winter flu by the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (CSL) were not entirely effective.

Each year CSL “takes about a quarter of Australia’s egg supply to make the vaccine,” he said.

“We purify the protein parts of the virus out of the eggs and make the vaccine out of that.

“But it’s not 100 per cent effective at all … for older people (because) as your immune system gets weaker as you get older.

“With measles you are protected against it for life. The vaccine kills any virus that gets into your blood.

“We don’t have a mode that works against other coronaviruses.”

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

The intervention drug’s purpose is to dampen down the inflammatory response in high-risk coronavirus patients.

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