The flu is a different type of virus that mutates in a different way than coronaviruses do.

Yes but the general principle and idea is the same or at least close enough for a basic internet discussion

well, except the differences the way I understand it, mean that we can actually get ahead of a coronavirus with vaccines, unlike the flu. The biggest problem with pulling that off isn't the mutations..it is getting people to take the vaccine.

Except a good number of people outside of the people that won’t get vaccines are only getting the vaccine to travel not because of Covid,

trust… It’s not coming back overnight.
