Usually there is a small team in a only a couple of research facilities working in isolation, with private funding to make a vaccine.
In this case, we had nearly every medical research group the world over looking into it, sharing information, funded by government blank cheques.
The trials and testing requires huge numbers in areas that are effected by the illness in question. Then they need volunteers within that region.
In this case, the whole world is your place to test, and everyone is susceptible, so finding thousands of volunteers for the trials was far easier than most other trials.
They are not making vaccines (plural) in months, they made vaccines for a single illness.
Don't expect, or even claim this to be the new normal. It isn't.
This is what happens when governments actually decide to do something.
The real question is, why can't they be effective at loads of other global issues. The answer is, motivation.
The question isn't why was this fast, it is why isn't everything this fast.
Imagine how fast we could clean up pollution if governments actually tried.
