The Consensus Among Global Disease Experts Is That The Coronavirus Variants Will Make The Current Vaccines Ineffective Within A Year

In a new survey, 66.2% of global disease experts said they believe that within one year, mutations of the virus will render vaccines ineffective 

Daily Mail: Two-thirds of global disease experts believe coronavirus variants will make vaccines ineffective within ONE YEAR 

 * Surveyors interviewed 77 epidemiologists, virologists and infectious disease specialists about coronavirus vaccines

 * A total of 66.2% said they believe that within one year, mutations of the virus will render vaccines ineffective

 * Of that group, 18.2% said they believed it would occur within six months and 32.5% said within nine months

 * Another 18.2% said vaccines would be ineffective within two years while 7.8% said they believed mutations would never cause vaccines to become ineffective 

 * As of Tuesday, at least 10,985 cases of coronavirus variants from the UK, South Africa and Brazil have been reported across in every state 

Two-thirds of disease experts believe coronavirus variants will render vaccines ineffective within one year, a new survey finds. 

Conducted by the People's Vaccine Alliance, about 66 percent of epidemiologists, virologists and infectious disease specialists say they think that within 12 months, the virus will mutate to such a degree that first-generation vaccines will be useless at preventing infection. 

Of that group, nearly one-fifth believe it would occur within six months and one-third said within nine months. 

Fewer than one in eight doctors said they believed that mutations would never make the vaccines currently available ineffective.
