The vaccines won't wear off but they will eventually become useless as the virus mutates. The Astra-Zeneca vaccine has already been found to be ineffective against the South African strain, although the company are claiming to have already tweaked it to account for this.Do the mRNA things ever "wear off"? So like if it has the nightmare effect people mentioned above, are we stuck with that until the end of humanity, or will it eventually settle back down as the vaccine effects wane?
Constant monitoring of the hundreds, if not thousands, of slightly different strains of Covid floating around will be required with regular revisions released and mass booster vaccination campaigns. Using attenuated vaccines for a Coronavirus is impossible, as every time it's been tried it ended up producing the virulent form of the infection. Even worse they often produce antibody dependent enhancement in animal trials leading to a more serious disease pathology, killing the subject. So we're left with the mRNA vaccines, which by their very nature can only be a temporary fix .
TLDR the mRNA vaccines will likely be useless in the long run, as they cannot produce a sterilizing immunity, will not stop spread and bi-annual pandemic outbreaks and natural viral mutation over many years will leave us playing a constant game of wack a mole. Even if developed nations are happy to spend tens of billions annually rolling out constant vaccine revisions poorer nations, which means the vast majority of the human population, will likely give up on the whole thing.
If politicians were actually 'following the science' they'd be letting the public in on this, but of course that would mean having an honest discussion about the risk/benefits and that there are some things science does not know how to solve, a moderately bad novel Coronavirus pandemic being one of them.
From the very beginning of the pandemic we should have been spending all our efforts on developing effective treatment protocols,. We should have taken the opportunity to deal with the horrendous incidence of chronic lifestyle related disease, particularly obesity, which is the real reason tens of thousands of people are dying from what is a bad chest cold. Instead we've chased a pipe dream.
