There is so much hope pinned on vaccination against COVID19, but we really cannot depend on the virus going quietly.
“ There is a possibility that the roll-out of vaccination will lead to selection for mutations that allow the virus to escape from the effect of the vaccine. Public Health Agencies are central to the ongoing evaluation for this event and will require the effective and rapid detection of people who have had infection more than once, or else have vaccine failure, which could be explained by changes in the virus. Such cases will need to be prioritised to have their virus sequenced.”
In other words, vaccination may do for viruses, what antibiotics did for bacteria, but turbo-charged, since viruses infect more people, more quickly than bacteria, PLUS viruses mutate far more rapidly, so that Terminator / Alien Virus could be hatched in any one of us, at any time.
The world will need virucidal masks from now on.
