Might want to read on the basics of how vaccines work and maybe the flu vaccines as an example, before saying dumb shit like this.

yea, the original one indeed does not work anymore, they don't even give it anymore. and the "new" one is based on a strain that is now over a year old. you think that one is going to "work" even better? lol.

They all work against the strain they're intended for, just like the flu shots. What don't you understand?

thats only true if the pace of vaccine development is fast enough to catch up. there is no evidence that we are fast enough yet. and plenty of evidence that we aren't.

That's the dumbest shit I've read in a while. What constitutes "fast enough"? Flu shots are given out before flu season and the covid vaccines were dispatched in record time for a novel virus, a monumental achievement. The evidence is that the vaccine saved millions of lives. You're just an idiot arguing in bad faith, who's taking embarrassingly long to realise he was incorrect.
