Multiple attacks

“We don’t know yet what the efficacy might be. We don’t know if it will be 50% or 60%. I’d like it to be 75% or more,” Fauci said in a webinar hosted by Brown University. “But the chances of it being 98% effective is not great, which means you must never abandon the public health approach.”
Much of this variability flows from the uncertain history of the immune system. Hence, there will be multiple vaccines, each attacking a different art of he spike, and there will be synthetic antibody boosters, and better solutions for extreme allergic reaction. Put this together, and the total response approaches Dr. Fauci's number. These should start coming in play in six quarters.

One of the byproducts is the golden age of genetic engineering.
