The reality is that other countries are already recognising the need for boosters for all. Something we will presumably do once we have adequate supplies of mRNA vaccines.
Or indeed something more specific than targeting the spike protein.


I don't think we can read into the future enough to tell.


If it ends up like flu where we give vaccines to those at risk, that's manageable, and probably a worst case scenario in reality.


Maybe it will take a year or two with the existing vaccines or better vaccines to get to this point, or maybe we will have enough natural immunity, we can't tell.
