A "T-cell priming" vaccine could provide better COVID-19 immunity than mRNA vaccines, Salon.
They design / theorise all sorts of stuff In Silico, but despite being based on real world chemistry and physics much of it is closer to science fiction than science fact. After they sort out how to actually make it, not trivial and in some cases even impossible, going to In Vitro is the next step, and if it's safe then it is probably to animal trials before In Situ / Vivo trials. The whole process can take decades.
Much of the vaccines currently in use were already in development or use decades ago, that is why they became available so fast. That's were the anti-vax claims about "new" and "unproven" are bullshizen, even the newest of the set the mRNA vaccines, those techniques have been in trial and development since the early 2000s!
