We're all gonna be sorry when the virus mutates away from the vaccine.

Every time a new variant comes out it reinforces their belief that they should just wait on the vaccine that covers all the variants.

judging by how fast we had a vaccine, I can't imagine it will be very hard for the vaccines to be changed to be effective against new strains if needed

And that'll never happen because we've failed to stop or slow down further mutations

I mean, you're looking at at least another year to get where we're currently at, back to full restrictions and many many preventable deaths. Let's not pretend it wouldn't be a big deal.

Here I'd just note that in most countries, people aren't vaccinated due to lacking access to vaccines, not hesitancy.

Our species is doomed. Human stupidity over vaccines will cause our downfall.

To be fair, it hasn't yet. Smallpox and polio vaccines weren't widely accepted when they came out and we're still around.

Now if you said humanity is doomed because of something like climate change, I would agree with you.

At this rate, the thing may just mutate itself down in the potency chain, but make itself more transmissible. That would probably be the best outcome.

it mutates but has been just as deadly. there's no end :(.
would like the outcome that each mutation lowers it's potency but it's not going to happen.

Covid is not going to end the human race, guys. The internet and 24 hours news access has made you extremely paranoid. Im not saying the disease doesnt exist, or isnt widespread, but acting like its doomsday is a bit overboard. Flu vaccines are only about 30% effective these days, and thats provided they guess the right strain, but you dont see any handwringing over that. Anyways, if you live in a first-world country youll be fine.

flu virus doesn't have a high Kill Rate.
Covid DOES from what i seen.

though there's facts proven that it doesn't kill as much but plenty of victims out there to infect (people don't care that they're infecting others).

Technically not a high kill rate, just a high transmission rate and incubation time, so it spreads really fast and more people get infected, so more deaths.

One thing people always gloss over is the fact there's another outcome besides die or recover. People seem to think if you don't die, you make a 100% recovery. There are many people out there who survived covid but suffer long-term or even permanent damage.

People dragging their feet on vaccinations caused these variants.

Every time the coronavirus propagates into a newly infected host there is a [small] chance of a variant bejng created. The more it spreads, the more it changes.

You do realize many countries can't provide to all their citizens like America can, right? In many places they're not dragging ass they simply don't have access. These variants aren't originating in countries with high access.

I think areas with a relatively high vaccination rate but with an unprotected and highly connected subpopupation are probably optimal grounds to generate a mutation that evades the current vaccine.

I think it's a real worry to throw unvaccinated children back into school and let the virus rip through them.

Recently had an argument with a friend of mine over why he wouldn't take the vaccine. He says he doens't think it's safe. Even after showing him that getting covid is (vastly) more dangerous than getting the vaccine, he didn't change his mind.

We truly are doomed.

Yeah. Only in America do we have crazy abundant access to Vaccines and people would rather piss away their opportunity because MUH MAGA or some other bullshit.

um what? no. they are 50-60% effective from hospitalizations and 80% effective against preventing deaths.

I have friends like that too. why put yourself in harm's way, especially going outside in crowded areas when not having the vaccine?
