It’s strange CDC put this out. It’s basically the same mechanism as antibiotic resistance from selection pressure. Antibiotics become ineffective and new ones are needed until all strains are resistant and you lose.

More of these mRNA vaccines are only effective for each strain and the antibodies produced from old strains are useless. I don’t think virologists will be able to keep up with the mutating viruses. Then, what’s going to happen to all the useless antibodies? More chances for anti immune diseases?

"More of these mRNA vaccines are only effective for each strain and the antibodies produced from old strains are useless."

This is false. The neutralizing antibodies for the April 2020 variant of SARS-CoV-2 are less effective against the Brazil and South Africa variants, but still effective if present in sufficient quantities. Also worth noting that vaccinated persons show much higher concentrations of neutralizing antibodies than people who had a mild COVID-19 infection and recovered. The current vaccines available in the United States are effective against all known variants.

"I don’t think virologists will be able to keep up with the mutating viruses."

Nonsense. Smallpox and polio were eliminated from the western world regardless of mutation and the mRNA vaccines can be tweaked in weeks; not years. Mutate that.

"Then, what’s going to happen to all the useless antibodies? More chances for anti immune diseases?"

QUICK! EVERYONE PANIC! BE AFRAID!

Wait, no, nevermind. This is all a bunch of fearmongering nonsense. Don't panic. Go about your life. As President Trump said at CPAC, go get your shot. Watch as our COVID case counts and deaths plummet like they have in Israel. All of Israel's neighbors are seeing climbing cases and deaths, but Israel has provided vaccines to over 56% of its population and is the only country in the region seeing COVID cases and COVID deaths plummeting toward zero.
