At some point the classical ones are available that are not vector or mRNA vaccinations. Although there is still skepticism regarding duration of the protection.

So you say that at some stage there will be vaccines for COVID-19 that are not nMRA (Pfizer, Moderna) or Viral vector (AstraZeneca)

Why? The people who are happy with vaccines are fairly happy with these vaccines and might refine them, but not about to dump them entirely for a different technique. in fact mRNA vaccines are the new hot thing.

And the people who really aren't happy with these vaccines, will never be happy. They'll find a way to object.

So what's the incentive for such a classical vaccine? Who's going to root for it?

What do you mean? We need better vaccines for any long term strategy.

And those will likely also not be "classical vaccines".

Moderna and Pfizer (1) and AstraZeneca (2) are getting ready for the next round, still using their current technologies. They're not planning on going back to "classical vaccines" for COVID-19.
