I’m hoping they are working on something that is a genuine cure, or a vaccine that is completely effective in stopping you getting it. Or even one that doesn’t become ineffective after 5-6 months. That will be the silver bullet.

The whole idea behind life and evolution is that organisms find a way around any hurdle you put infront of them. How do you stop a virus from entering your body in the first place? Besides physical barriers like high-grade masks but look at the pushback from that? The country doesn't want to be told what to do or wear.
You breathe in a virus, it goes in your lungs and lies up against your tissue.. how do you prevent it from evolving its own mechanism that lets it slip inside your cells?
We've never had a cure for a virus. The closest we have is probably HIV, that seems to be the main focus for virus research. That came about by a HIV patient receiving a bone marrow transplant from someone who just happened to have a unique gene mutation which provided resistance to HIV. (He died from cancer last year btw)
The only way that scientists will make a discovery as significant as preventing infection from a virus, is probably going to be through some kind of gene editing like CRISPR can deliver. And if you think the outcry and conspiracy claims from mRNA-based vaccines is bad, you just wait until gene editing becomes more advanced! That is true DNA alteration. Kind of like what people are accusing mRNA vaccines of doing but actually real DNA alteration. Can't wait to see the fallout from that 'cause yeah that's experimental as ****. People will go into that as guinea pigs with their future and life expectancy completely unknown... but they'll still do it for science.
I'm surprised that you're looking for solutions provided by scientists from research that isn't currently there yet, but you're scoffing at recommended measures provided by scientists that may not be a complete solution but is the best they've got for now?
