Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted April 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2022 The continuing mutation of the virus is it's way of trying to continue to survive without dying off. It will always be with us and vaccines will need to be adjusted yearly. The vaccines currently being used may still be helpful, but have not been designed for mutated variants. People still need to be responsible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
