I'm not sure that's correct. Pandemics mutate to being less deadly usually in 2-3 years. Immunity is not necessarily protection from mutations.
Sorry, but I disagree.
Mutations are not really relevant in my opinion.
Sure there are some changes on every virus reproduction, but they generally are insignificant or non-viable.
That is NOT where variants come from.
Variants come from more than one virus injecting its RNA or DNA into the same cell, and combining.
And variants actually always existed from long ago.
The reason they suddenly seem significant if not from recent mutation, but from recent natural selection.
All the existing variants are competing for hosts, and the least lethal will reproduce the most, because they won't be forced to find new hosts as often,
Pandemics normally evolve from natural selection to less deadly in a month or 2, not years.
The only reason this has been slowed with covid is that we deliberately "flattened the curve", slowing everything down.
Which is harmful.
The more quickly we reach herd immunity %, the least death toll you end up with as a result.
Immunity IS protection from variants.
Those who recovered from the original variants also still have immunity from the more recently popular variants.
The reason is it currently being claimed that the variants are avoiding immunity is that the mRNA injections are not working, so they needed to come up with a cover story.
But it is a false cover story.
That should be easy to understand once you think about how the mRNA injections work.
They contain no virus at all, so can not possibly be variant specific at all.
They just get our own cells to start sprouting spike proteins.
And these spike proteins can not be variant specific because their intended target is the ACE2 receptors in our own cells.
If the virus spike protein were to at all change, then it would no longer unlock the ACE2 receptors that let the virus in.
The mRNA injections never gave anyone any immunity in the least.
All they do is temporarily increase antibody production in order to clean up all the excess spike proteins left floating around.
