Good question. We have never eradicated a coronavirus in man nor beast. Prior experiments in beasts were overwhelming failures. It is in deer and cats, and transmits between species, so it will be around for approximately forever. I'm not taking new-tech medical treatments for something I already lived through at home without intervention.

While OSHA mandates are all the rage, MSHA actually does safety and did not mandate. Wearing a bacteria-breeding mask becomes unhealthy and is dangerous to wear because it blocks vision down. In general, people would learn a lot about safety and prevention by working under MSHA rules for awhile. I did.

No cases of SARS-CoV-1 have been reported worldwide since 2004

Good point. More accurate for me to say we have never eradicated a coronavirus with a vaccine.

I suppose in the present case we could try to slaughter all of the potentially infected animals. Some humans would likely resist.

We've never had a coronavirus get as widespread and to persist as long as to require a vaccine to combat it.
