Those measles mumps rubella vaccines?

Because right now I think a lot vaccines are only 30-60% effective against delta variant.

How many more years do you think it'll take to develop one that's 99% effective? 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

its not a virus like measles, vaccines for covid will be like vaccines for the flu, people will develop immunity memory at some point and the variants are expected to be milder I think

so yeah anyway spanish flu pandemic was 3-7 years long, expecting something like that with covid before we stop hearing about it

Correct.

Cures basically aren't a thing for viruses

Yes, waiting to get 2nd dose. But because of this 60% effective thing, I'll be acting like there's still restrictions even when I'm fully vaccinated

its worse with J&J. used to be good protection. now down to 33% against delta variant.
if they say to get a 2nd shot i'll go get it.

i don't go out in mass public areas except for food shopping. rest of the time i typically avoid people since i get some exercise from walking the dog every day (she needs her walks to keep her healthy/happy).
