I guess we are not done yet as a mutated form of the corona virus just showed up in the UK and the Netherlands, and it was not unexpected as viruses will mutate, and I would not be surprised if sooner or later it will show up here in the US as well. Will the vaccine just developed for the current strain of the corona virus also work for the mutated form? It will be interesting to see and revealing what reaction a person will have who just has been vaccinated for the current strain and encounters the mutated form, perhaps now or a year from now?

We’ll be safe as we won’t be allowed to leave our homes, have to wear a mask even while eating, and wait for the gov’t to throw some gruel through the slot in the front door./s

I’m guessing the part of the virus targeted with the vaccine will be effective against the mutated form as well. The spike seems pretty integral to the virus

I wonder how many people know that the vaccines do not prevent you from getting the virus. Just like the flu vaccine.

Given this virus mutates the vaccine may give you something like 12 to 25% help with it, certainly not 95%. They will have to come out with different vaccines for COVID-19 for the strains that will develop.

So you would have to get this vaccine every 6 to 12 months to help.

It’s understood it protects against all strains from what I read. But then who really knows what to believe?
