Similarly, people talk about immunity, but the science papers I have read are inconclusive.
Similarly, people talk like this is a one-off. Again the science papers I have read indicate that there is nothing to prevent a covid-21, covid-23 or covid-24.
I don't have any answers, and haven't really offered any. I have a strong interest in science related news items, and I would like to think that I apply a critical thought process to things I read.
There are, at best, 46 strains of this virus. From my understanding, viruses usually mutate into something weaker. However, the one question I have been asking myself (and for which I can find no answers) is does one vaccine defeat all covid-19 infections?
People often equate this with the flu. But, there are various strains of the flu. When you get a flu vaccination, it doesn't protect you against the flu full stop. It protects you against the most likely strain for the winter. That doesn't mean you shouldn't get vaccinated, but what it does mean is that you should not expect to be immune from the flu simply from the vaccine. At best you are 60% immune - if lucky.
