This is the misnomer of not understanding vaccines and how they work and are developed. A vaccine is ONLY developed AFTER a strain or variant has appeared. So vaccines are always playing catch up. In history vaccinations have worked to eradicate diseases........."IF"......the public was willing to get vaccinated. Smallpox and Polio for instance. Vaccines only stop the spread of the disease if a high percentage of the population gets that vaccine. in instances where denial of vaxes working.......or misinformation campaigns circulate lies about them to cause mass hysteria leading to refusal to take the vaccines then huge portions of the population can be infected and that allows new variants to develop in un vaxxed hosts. The cruise ship had not one case of COVID 19............the original disease. But it did have 800 cases of variant COVID. That indicates that the original strain of COVID has not been the infecting people.......only the variants that no vaccines exists for..............yet. And they won't exist until AFTER that variant emerges. So the idea vaxxes don't work is a lie. What don't work is assuming al vaxxes are hoaxes so you do not get one but then get sick and say see I told ya so.
