I'm saying that at most using the vaccine will cause a virus to evolve that it evades the vaccine. It won't get any other supervirus properties, become worse, or otherwise change. The concern with using antibiotics (for instance) is that a bacteria becoming immune to one becomes more resistant to all and it's hard to generate new antibiotics. On the other hand, with the vaccine, you just might need a booster with a different signature. There's no "broadening". It's just different.

So, a vaccine's immunity might not last forever. And?

To the contrary, viruses are not intelligent, when mutations happen at random, the best way to prevent mutation is to prevent infection and length of infection.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the explanation!
