I don't know, and could not find that much information on exactly how virologists find cures and vaccines. But I know that they need antibodies to make these cures. And there are two primary ways of making these antibodies. One, they can take them from patient zero. Patient zero would be where the virus originated from. Two, they could inject into an animal like a horse. If the animal, horse creates antibodies to fight off the virus, we take some of its blood. And from the plasma we extract the antibodies. H .....
