Novel Rutgers COVID vaccine may provide long-lasting protection, medicalxpress.com

Sounds promising - a vaccine whose efficacy doesn’t wane immediately after administration and lasts for at least a year. But will it be given the accelerated emergency use approval that the existing vaccines enjoyed or will it have to work its way through testing over the best part of a decade? I’m sure Moderna and Pfizer will support a speedy process.

I might be cynical, you know with lightbulb conspiracies and planned obsolescence and the like, but what are the odds that Pfizer, AZ, Moderna and maybe even GSK announce their own versions of a similar new spike protein?
