The mutation of Covid could make the vaccines we take worthless over time:

Viruses the spread hemorrhagic fevers like Ebola virus looks very different and this affects how they are transferred and stay in the host.

Covid is not the flu...

Actually, it is. Both diseases are contagious respiratory illnesses, caused by enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses, and both are encapsidated by nucleoproteins.

It's not an Influenza virus, it is a Corona virus.

If it were a flu, wouldn't it be an Influenza virus?

Same family of viruses.

Coronaviruses ( Coronaviridae ) is a very large family of viruses that include the common cold and flu viruses, the SARS virus, the MERS virus and COVID19.

Corona viruses do not include flu viruses.

We're stuck with it. Once the vaccine infrastructure is in place it is a fairly simple matter to adjust for new strains but as with the flu there is a significant lag getting it out there. During this lag time there is every opportunity for the virus to mutate again creating a cycle.

It's not as bad as you think!!!

This MRNA technology vaccines, will only take about 4 weeks to develop an alteration to the existing vaccines for any new variation!! Heard that on the news last night.

The other positive is that 76000 people went thru trials with the South African and British Variants out there, and although people caught the virus, there were no deaths, zero deaths from any of these people that caught it, with the vaccine....and only a few that needed any hospitalizations.

So the present vaccines still, for now, protect from severe conditions, with the variants too.

COVID-19 Vaccine: Will It Protect Against New Variants And Do You Need A 2nd Dose?

The spread of new strains raises new questions as two COVID-19 vaccines continue their rollout across the U.S. and another vaccine candidate preps for regulatory review. Here's what you need to know.

www.wwno.org

Let me be clear first off you should take the vaccine and hopefully it will slow the spread of Covid in this country and around the World...

With that written many of you should understand that Covid will mutate and sooner or later the vaccines we take now will be worthless against a new strain of Covid down the road and a new vaccine will need to be created or the world will be right back where we are at now.

Covid is never going away and society will adjust over time but reality is reality, so let deal with reality and understand the vaccines we have now will be outdated in a few years...

I posted this upstairs because we need a civil discussion and I know some of you believe Covid is a hoax and will never take the vaccine and I am not here to convince you that it is real or you should be vaccinated but I am here to discuss the reality Covid is never leaving and vaccines will need to be updated and taken again in a few years to battle the new variants of Covid that will happen...

So thank you for reading and enjoy the discussion...

Once we have this form of covid beaten our population will have antibodies in their bodies that will attack most covid forms. The less types of covid that can spread and the less incubators for a new new one to mutate., the less odds you get a mutation. Not all mutations will be more communicable or lethal. When these things become truly dangerous is when they over run the hospitals if all the doctors and nurses are busy dealing with a covid patient they take alot more time to offer help on what will kill you quick like heart attack or gun shot wound. After we beat this one it will just be lime the common flue most likely. We have to adjust our flue shot as time goes on. We just have to stay ahead of it enough that it does not take up all the hospital beds.

I read recently that there is a new study that shows that the immune system of people who recovered from infection hadn't degraded much in the past 9 months, giving them immunity for far longer than they thought initially. This would be antibodies for the particular strain they were infected with. I'm not sure if this immune response translates over to new strains or people who have been vaccinated though, I hope it does, but it may not.

Only in the minds of lunatics do we take a vaccine that is 90% effective for a virus that is 99.5% survivable.

There are two major evolutions in progress for SARS-CoV-2, one in humans and one in nature. Mutations happening in nature are mostly unknown, because the source is (supposedly) unknown. One cannot speak intelligently about C-19 mutations by reifying those that occur in one host. SARS-CoV-2 has not been found in bats, and this evolution continues in nature, undoubtedly the one of the greatest absurdities of 2020.

SARS-CoV-2 is not an influenza virus. It is a nidovirus:

And what is Biden going to do about it?

Biden has a plan...
Wear 3 masks.
Don't ever inhale.
Quarantine.
