HIV was identified in 1984. Researchers have yet to develop a vaccine. Does the public understand that developing a vaccine isn't necessarily easy?

Do people read and know that covid19 is a completed different virus to HIV. It works differently, had a thinner skin etc etc.
HIV is curable however but because the meds work effectively the use of the cure which is a more arduous process is only done for other medical reasons.
🤷 I just hate misleading fear mongering information.
It could take s while to develop a covid 19 vaccine but comparing it to HIV is pointless. It's like comparing small pox to chicken pox.

Seriously?
Why not compare the small pox virus (variola virus) to chicken pox virus (varicella-zoster virus), which is a herpes virus (chickenpox is a type of herpes)? In some ways they are indeed comparable:

Vaccination with smallpox vaccine has been used for recurrent herpes simplex in Europe for several years, but the treatment has had little publicity in America. When patients with recurrent herpes simplex are vaccinated with ordinary smallpox vaccine, the attack is shortened, and definite immunization to further attacks follows.
