Once the immunisation programme is complete and the boosters designed to tackle variants are given with appropriate regularity, this virus will cease to be a major concern.
How long would it take a to develop said 'booster' to work with a potential new variant? & then how long would it take said booster to be approved for use?

Unless of course you're planning to create 'boosters' for every possible permutation of the virus.

Meanwhile in the real world, a potentially more infectious and potentially more lethal variant spreads across the global population.

IMHO we will for the next five to ten years be reacting to this virus.

You're right, we do have to accomodate to the virus being out there. your approach of is one of ignorance as opposed to damage limitation.
