As new variants of Sars-Covid-2 sweep across the globe, the efficiency and the speed of new infection and re-infection cases have given pause to those who thought a good vaccine would help diminish the virus quickly. In the time since those initial predictions, some good things have happened.  We have had several vaccines come online and countries are starting their vaccination programs.  And a significant portion of the of the world’s population has been exposed to the virus through natural infection, which studies show conveys some immunity to the virus for some amount of time. While these developments should give many a cause for hope, the emerging variants have shown to be effective at evading some vaccines and causing new infection patterns, which include a greater infection rate and early evidence of increased infection among school age children. What does this mean for ridding the world of this virus? Will the virus be eradicated? Or will the virus become endemic or seasonal? We will discuss all of these topics in this episode.
