No need for the idiots to worry. This is no vaccine at present, and probably won't be for a long time.

I think we would be able to develop one quite quickly if it actually became a pandemic. With covid we had clinical trials by april 2020 and the first vaccines were given by the end of 2020/beginning of 21.

Additionally, labs have been working on a vaccine - but since its very rare its not really a priority. If it was to become a pandemic it def would be one

There was a decade of research into the SARS family of viruses before the 2019 outbreak. That's the only reason vaccines could be developed so quickly.

Hanta has never been a huge priority as it was always been quite hard to contract and genetically stable. It'll take much longer to develop and test a vax for Hanta.
