A logical and scientific requirement for such (i.e., development of therapeutic/vaccine) is the availability of a VALID analytical/clinical test to establish the presence/absence of Coronavirus (COVID-19). However, unfortunately, at present, there is no such VALID method exists. Therefore, scientifically speaking, it is impossible to establish the presence/absence of COVID-19 in humans with sufficient accuracy/specificity and, by extension, the development of its treatment/cure either by pharmaceuticals or vaccines.
Media and bureaucracy can produce anything (virus and its treatment) out of thin air; that is a different story. If people like to believe in such stories, then that is their problem.
Every test and/or tester comes with a calibration/validation certificate. Similarly, COVID-19 test has to have calibration/validation based on parameters, i.e., method validation data such as (1) accuracy; (2) precision; (3) specificity; (4) references used to validate the method. It is a standard and normal practice/requirement for any analytical/clinical test. Unfortunately, this is missing. Hence all the claims made about the presence/absence of COVID-19 and/or its treatment/cure MUST be considered unscientific or false.
