I did research in astrophysics - not medical domain - but currently we have reasonable hope that COVID-19 vaccines, especially mRNA, is valid and may stay so till the next
vaccination. So Linus Torvalds saying is state of the art.
BUT experts can not guarantee anything - but are waiting for the next COVID-19 waves expected about October 2021 (in northern hemisphere) ... so in one year we know about the problems. We have some arguments against some vaccines - we don't know how a sharpened immune system will react ... how long it will take that new vaccines are necessary due to mutation ... and which vaccines has best effects.
Due to COVID-19 being a real killer and long-time effects for a good percentage of people recovering from COVID-19, vaccination is seen very positive.
And yes - the normal study period for vaccines had been dramatically shortened as we must cope with the problems - so when someone says something is sure he is lying.
Same for herd immunity - it does not mean no one will die - it is a statistical gamble that numbers are not exploding ... and it is said to be more than 70% - which is extremely high.
And after a yet to be determined number of month an old vaccination is no longer valid ...
So no one can really discuss this as long as we don't have reliable studies with clear result. I expect those data in a year ... experts would not give clear advice - neither for a special vaccine nor for other special cases - only a general recommendation as COVID-19 is able to produce even more dramatic numbers ...
Everyone should discuss this with his doctor of trust.
And even when having a valid vaccination one should wear a mask - and not participate in huge gatherings ... this will be valid for several year - and politicians want to get elected and thus make promises which no one can keep.
So everyone should be careful - and I hope the best for all of us!
