vaccine is only targeting yesterdays virus not todays. True or non? Mostly non... sort of... Non as a function of "what is possible"... but, oui, as a function of what is profitable. It is true that "yesterday's vaccines" were only capable of targeting yesterday's viruses... Have tracked it for a few years... The efficacy of most of the "annual flu vaccines" being sold is very low... on the order of 15%... maybe 30 - 50% in a really good year, if they're lucky... because they depend on scientists "guessing" which viruses are going to be the driver of the next annual outbreak. The utility of annual flu vaccination thus not a whole lot better than the utility of savings programs based on feeding your spare change into slot machines or into buying lottery tickets... That element won't change without innovation that enables more rapid creation of vaccines... that target "what is circulating" instead of "our best guess about what might"... And, that probably won't happen without shifting focus from how they grow virus to attenuate now... which is painfully slow... to synthetic manufacture of proteins specific to the target that's actually relevant... in a rapid process... But, a lot of progress has been made in unraveling both sides of the biology in virus infections... both the biology of the hosts... people... and that of the viruses... Little of that progress is relevant in relation to the Covid issue... as the Chinese approach has been to stick with "yesterday's approach"... while the American / western approach has been to use mRNA based vaccines... That "could" be more useful than it is today... but it is not useful today, which has nothing at all to do with efforts trying to make vaccines more effective... as it is only focused on applying Microsofts software licensing model to vaccines... to make you pay $$$ for the same thing over and over... every time there's a minor change that occurs. They're working to ensure the vaccines work less well... in order to sell you more of them... whether they work or not... The vaccine BUSINESS has thus become a pernicious evil... focused on maximizing profits by enabling people in being sick unless they submit to paying the extortion in a "protection racket"... which likely doesn't provide any protection at all... making it mostly a scam. The "problem" is... better understanding makes it possible to target viruses with vaccines that don't target the more wildly genetically variable portions of the virus... but the more stable "core" portions of the virus protein complement... So, today, yes it is becoming possible to develop a vaccine that would work against all corona viruses... But, like cancer or diabetes... there's more of a profit motive involved in NOT solving the problem... in a particular way... than there is in actually solving it... Given their profit focus, killing your customers (after a suitably protracted illness) is much less of a problem... than killing their problem ?
