I thought this is more or less a logistical nightmare. We cant create and distribute that many vaccines for the N number of strains.

It would be possible but we just never really tried.

No, a significant part of it is that immunity is temporary. The article describes a particular cold virus where immunity lasts about 40 weeks, hence it resurges every winter.
