You didn't know that, because it's most likely BS.

BTW people and chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA. We're basically the same, aren't we. /s

80% is not close at all, and 99.7% still can render a vaccine ineffective, of course the specifics matter.

To be fair humans are almost identical to chimpanzees biologically in many ways. As long as the spike proteins tertiary structure has not changed to much from SARS to COVID, op could be correct. Emphasis on could.

I feel like talking about genes in % similarity seems to be useless.

That was the point I was trying to drive home, more or less.
