04/30/21 Coronavirus

Ugh.😔 Keep hearing on the news that the vaccinations might have little effect on the new covid variants. I hope we dont have to go back to step one which is creating another vaccine that will cover the variants. But probably it could be impossible because you'll never know when a new mutation of the virus would come.

The fact some VoC may escape antibodies doesn't necessarily mean vaccinated or convalescent people will be anywhere as vulnerable as the non-vaccinated and unexposed.

Seasonal coronaviruses re-infect people continuously, but almost always asymptomatically, and since early 2020 the speculation was that this one will eventually add to that list (specifically when the majority of people will be immunized).
