#8 How long will it take to develop a vaccine?
According to Fauci, the entire process for a vaccine development takes about a year or a year and a half. He also said that the first phase of vaccine testing takes three to four months and the second takes eight months, totaling a year to a year and a half.
“The first thing you’ve got to do is make sure it’s safe. When you find out it’s safe and that it induces the kind of response you want it to, then you do it in a lot of people,” Fauci said.
“The first trial is, like, 45 people. Then you go into hundreds, if not thousands, of people. That’s what takes the extra eight months… If we really push, we hope that we will know by the time we get into next winter whether or not we have something that works.”

I have a question for Dr Fauci. Some young people in my family who have never had children, but plan to, are afraid that the vaccine will change their Dna in a way that will affect their ofspring or future generations. Can you tell me why they are wrong? Why that will not happen.
