COVID-19 Vaccine Could Be Ineffective Within A Year As Mutations In Virus Emerge

While thousands flock to receive their two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, it’s being reported that vaccinations could be ineffective within a year as mutations in the virus emerge.

Despite push from President Joe Biden and numerous celebrities and political figures across the nation, a wildcard has been thrown on the table revealing that the current vaccines on the market could become less effective against the virus as soon as next year due to mutations in the strain.

In a new survey taken by The People’s Vaccine Alliance, almost 65% of the 77 epidemiologists, virologists and infectious disease specialists were surveyed and stated that the window for the vaccines’s effectiveness ballparks around nine months or less. Meanwhile, less than one-eighth of those surveyed said they believed these variants wouldn’t make the current vaccine ineffective. But, the majority said we have “a year or less before the virus mutates to the extent that the majority of first-generation vaccines are rendered ineffective and new or modified vaccines are required.”
