> In a series of interviews with Israeli TV channels, Albert Bourla said it would “not be a good scenario” if people were to get boosters every four to five months. “What I'm hoping [is] that we will have a vaccine that you will have to do once a year,” ... Bourla argued that it is both easier to sell the idea and “easier for people to remember” if a vaccine is required only once per year, calling it “an ideal situation” from “a public health perspective.”

I'm hoping for some serious advances in masks. And the social acceptability of walking around looking like Bane.

Imagine if the development work for covid vaccines ends up with more effective vaccines against things like flu and even the common cold

That was pretty obvious since March 2020. Highly contagious respiratory viruses with non-human reservoirs don't go back into the bottle, once they're circulating.

No, but flu is the only one that evolves so quickly that we need a new shot every year.

Coronaviruses give people colds too, they just weren't as widespread or symptomatic as influenza. Now, they probably will be.
