Growing wild-type coronavirus is easier than making the current vaccine approaches? How/Why? As someone familiar with virology and cGMPs, I don’t see how that is the case.

My thinking is that culturing massive amounts is incredibly scalable since there's no need to inactivate or perform other steps to render the virus safe. You're just culturing a fuckton of virus in a medium like agar.
