So I've heard the new strain of covid has hit Colorado. It's also been said that the new strain is so similar to the old, that the vaccine will work on both. The only difference, it seems, is that this new version spreads faster.
Fauci says, "...people who have previously been infected by the virus appear to be safe from being infected again by the new Covid strain".
This makes me wonder, if the 2 strains are so close that the vaccine treats both, why would anyone who has had Covid need a vaccine? If having Covid protects you from this mutated strain (where the only difference seems to be transfer rate), wouldn't that mean you're potentially immune and don't need a vaccine from the "original" covid?
And yet, those that have had Covid and are more than likely immune are still getting vaccinated. Why?
