Exactly. Coronavirus and influenza are shitty diseases to treat with vaccines because they mutate so fast they outpace the rate of vaccine development, so you end up playing an endless nonsensical game of whack-a-mole, while the vaccine manufacturers get to refresh their intellectual property every year by patenting a new vaccine for a new strain so their product never goes out of patent and they can keep milking people on it.
For diseases like Smallpox, that don't mutate very fast, vaccines worked far more effectively.

I ‘m also deeply suspicious when the same people who gave us the problem all of a sudden have a “ cure” for us too.
