Staying focused on the vaccine...
My understanding was that most vaccine designs were done within a few weeks of release of the virus genetic sequence back in February. Everything since then has been testing, certifications, etc. I'm sure there were more that dropped out of contention due to one reason or another.
Cancer isn't a virus, it's a mutation to your own cells that your immune system doesn't recognize as dangerous because they resemble healthy cells. A vaccine teaches your immune system to be better prepared to fight stuff that comes from outside your body. Think of a vaccine as a practice test so that it is better prepared for the real thing. The coronavirus can still enter your body, but you immune system is basically waiting for it with the exact right weapon to kill it before it can replicate.
