The deeper I looked into whether the vaccines will be effective on all strains - and whether or not Covid19 is expected to mutate.. I am getting a wide variety of opinion. It seems the jury is not out on whether these vaccines will be what they call evolutionary proof.

There are underlying factors which may or may not effect whether a virus mutates, and in the case of the HIV virus it has been very challenging due to how it mutates. One of my concerns is that Covid19 and HIV virus seem to share some similarities in the structure of the virus - and yet on the other side of the argument I've learned in general (the family of Coronavirus) tend to mutate slowly.

Admittedly, this is beyond my pay grade:) and maybe one of our resident scientists could give their opinion based on what we know about the science.

Here is an interesting recent article on one side of the argument - and yet I can find articles that also say the vaccines might cover most strains.
Perhaps the debate continues.

Will the vaccine not work as well in obese people? Apparently this is sometimes the case with other vaccines..

And here is an article that says that the vaccines will work (probably) on multiple strains..
