I think OP's phrasing is a bit odd and people's understanding of scientific vs colloquial language is creating some misunderstandings.
To clarify: What OP is referring to as "Coronavirus" is in the scientific sense aka a family of viruses of which SARS-CoV2 and common cold both fall under.
"Coronavirus" colloquially refers to only SARS-CoV2 hence the misunderstanding.
OP is saying that he's not surprised to hear that SARS-CoV2, a member of the same virus family as common cold, is following the same fate of common cold of which has an annual vaccine.
