OK let us say It took six weeks to develop the Pfizer/Moderna/Astrazeneca vaccine? that would mean it took approximately six months which is being generous. for it to be approved for use and for usage to then start ? ?
So, now, let us new variant that's more infectious than delta, has a vaccine escape from current vaccines & also resistant to existing immunity. It's a possibility that this occurs.
Just think about what that means in terms of being able to spread, infections & hospitalizations & ultimately deaths.
Like i said, we're only going to be able to play catch up against variants for the next few years and this is why we need to maintain a significant degree of caution. Unless of course you want us to return to the lockdowns of earlier this year & last year
