“And what good would a vaccine do anyway, since the China Virus is already mutating into something other than what it started out as?”

Well, according to the following article
https://www.healthline.com/health-news/what-to-know-about-mutation-and-covid-19

“The new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has already mutated a handful of times, which has many people wondering whether the mutations could lead to a more severe, deadlier disease.

According to experts, the new mutations are extremely similar to the original virus that appeared in Wuhan, China, and don’t seem to be any more aggressive.

Because the mutations are so similar, a vaccine would likely protect people against not only the original strain but new mutations as well.”

Mutations will optimize toward organism survival.
Its a poor strategy to kill the host, mutations will trend toward maximize spread of the organism. This would mean asymptomatic or mild conditions will come to dominate.
