Agree on the first part; that’s what all the evidence points to.
But the second part, I can’t disagree more. Each variant brings about the possibility of creating more problems. For example, Delta is resistant to antibodies against previous variants of SARS-CoV-2. The effect of this is both a decrease in the effectiveness of the vaccines we have an in the immunity of those previously infected. Now seeing about 1 in 6,000 who were previously infected with COVID-19 getting reinfected with Delta.
I would much prefer this be the last variant, we get a variant-specific vaccine out for it, everyone either gets vaccinated or infected once, virus runs out of hosts, virus dies. Just likes SARS2003 and MERS2012. I want the darn thing gone.
From what I understand, it’s not a vax. It’s more of a treatment which reduces symptoms. Therefore, Covid continues to spread. And mutate.
It will never be gone and you know that. It will mutate and circle the globe forever.
Remnants of the Spanish flu are still around.
