♻️ People are getting sick every few months. It’s not great all around. We could get lucky evolution hitting a dead end in the immune escape area. Or we have to develop a new vaccine targeting a much more difficult to change part of the virus in order to break this cycle.
This is probably true if the hypothetical vaccines are as effective as the first generation. If they have the kind of effectiveness that prevents infection and that immunity doesn’t fade, I think the response will change. The value proposition changes completely. It goes from - vaccinate so that you don’t get too sick, but you still get sick and you’ll need another shot in 6 months, to - vaccinate so you don’t have to ever think about getting sick from this.

I don’t know what percentage of people got vaccinated last time, but i feel like next time, it’s not even gonna be a third of that.
