The PM added: "Equally there is no evidence to suggest the vaccine will be any less effective."

Is this not the exact fucking reason a cold vaccine has never been developed?

It's more that there are so many viruses that cause colds that even if you were able to develop a 100% effective vaccine for all of them, you'd end up with a couple hundred vaccines just to stop colds. It's not worth the expense or the risks for a disease so mild it's just an annoyance to most people.
