I get that there is going to be public interest in SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development. However, it seems to me we would be far better off treating it as a Manhattan Project, keeping the progress and testing top secret until there is an actual vaccine. This is for two reasons.
1. If we operate like there is no vaccine in sight, we'll have to really on other measures to contain, mitigate, and stop virus spread.
2. This play-by-play of vaccine development is going to make an incredibly uninformed public that doesn't know what people like BC do about it, become more skeptical of the process.
It seems it might be best to report researchers are working on vaccines and then only do any reporting when something is actually approved.
