The two new mutations of Covid have been studied and
have been found to be as effective on the virus.
For future strains well there’s a solution. Everyone gets vaccinated first and that provides a basic immunity against SARS-COV-2. It any strains appear which have vaccine resistance they should spread slower. But then every year like with the flu shot (maybe the two can be combined) you get a Covid shot with any new Covid strains included. Last year’s flu shot included 4 strains as determined to be the ones most needed by scientists.
Except the flu shot is voluntary. The COVID shot will not be. The government probably won’t mandate it but it will be compulsory
Well with the amount of anti-vaxxer nonsense spreading around that would dissuade a lot of people from getting one, so the inducement to get people to take it will be requirements if you want to travel, have a job, attend events, have your kids attend school etc. We already have “no jab no play” and that works fine, I fully support “no jab no job” (except for the
immunocompromised) as well.
