[Introduction: This is a superb example of thorough, scientific journalism. I have been monitoring this story for months, and even I learned some important new things about biology by reading this. It is the best article I have read from the Washington Post in years. Here are some quotes:]
“With at least 115 vaccine projects in laboratories at companies and research labs, the science is hurtling forward so fast and bending so many rules about how the process usually works that even veteran vaccine developers do not know what to expect.
“Researchers are now trying to compress that timeline in ways they never have before, against a type of virus they have never successfully quelled.
“More than one vaccine will likely be needed, because the first one may not be as effective as the follow-ons.”
