I'm in no way an expert. however, its pretty much common knowledge that viruses mutate, given that it makes sense that vaccines need to be updated. i see two scenarios:

1. forever taking vaccines at periodic intervals, probably enforced by law, judge dredd style

2. this particular virus will become less severe once everyone had it + was vaccinated and overly aggressive mutations died out, vaccines will be recommended not enforced

The lack of punctuation, the phrasing of this response, and the Overton Window nudging makes me think this comment is not in good faith.

Don't forget the 'weak' will have likely been wiped out.
