To get this straight it’s not that the variants are any more lethal or otherwise harmful after they’re contracted it’s just that the increase in their contagiousness means we can expect the spread to almost certainly outpace the vaccine?
Obviously that’s a huge concern but I can’t help but worry with the virus having had and apparently will continue to have so many opportunities to mutate something is going to come along that beats the vaccine and/or becomes more dangerous once contracted.
Along those lines, it’s still a battle to keep up antibiotic resistant superbug bacteria. Ultimately, that may not even be a long term winnable war because the ability to mutate is endless but the variations on more and more effective antibiotics is not.
