You hit on a lot of good points in your posts, so I just want to expand on the timeline for vaccines a little. First off, here's the latest update on the pan-coronavirus vaccine that I've seen from earlier this year:
So, unfortunately for us all, as far as I understand the government's pushing everyone back to the pre-pandemic timeline on vaccines and treatments going forward, particularly now that the emergency declaration is over. That means every one of these things is likely to take 5-10 years, or longer, from now on. No more project warp speed.

I'm always glad to see new work on pan-coronavirus or nasal vaccines, and believe me, I'm eagerly waiting, too. Unfortunately I do think we're going to be waiting for a while before anything "better" comes along.
