As for the risk of new mutations: if we were truly worried about that then perhaps the priority should be vaccinating the populations of poorer countries instead?

Vaccinate everyone, there’s no shortage of vaccine. Remember when Bill Gates fought to stop the manufacture of vaccine in other countries? People like him are the enemy to a fully vaccinated population.
Times like these I wish HN had a downvote button, since that’s total misinformation.

I have no idea what this means. It sounds like you’re under false impressions. The vaccines are quite effective.
Long term beyond a year and a half? I think it's safe to assume there is very little.
It’s also completely unknown what the long term effects of the virus are.
Edit: Disappointed but not surprised by the amount of anti-science on this site. I feel like a lot of people have let politics destroy their ability to think critically to the point of near suicidal ignorance. Sad.
