well if there's still evolution skeptics I give up because people will now get to experience it in real-time. Any given strain that is even moderately resistant against vaccines will quickly become the dominant variant, and with enough new hosts evolve further, and so on and so forth.

If there was ever actually any hope of quelling the disease distancing measures would have been needed to be sustained throughout the vaccination campaign as to avoid having to roll to many dice.

“ with enough new hosts evolve further”

That is why we need to push for widespread vaccination. Even vaccines that are not fully effective against all variants can reduce the population available to infection and reduce the ability of the virus to develop new variants.

Funny to see how the goalposts move. At first it was flattening the curve, then it was waiting for the vaccine, and now it turns out we need it even with a vaccine.
