No, he wasn’t. Covid vaccines target the spike protein, which while it can mutate, has a finite number of forms it can take, and they all overlap to a greater or lesser degree. As far as we presently know, any vaccine will have a certain level of effectiveness against any variation of that spike protein. Mind you, in certain cases that effectiveness could be quite low, so I don’t know how useful an observation that is.
