Do you think there will ever be a vaccine that will stop the transmission of COVID?

I was reading something depression about covid. I was someone who took COVID seriously during 2020 and 2021. Took the vaccines and then eased up and eased back to living.

Now I see there's a new COVID wave and it's not right. Flu season is over and it's not right how people are getting sick over and over and lasting for weeks at a time. There's just something not right.

A lot people's reactions are disgusting and negligence passing on their sicknessess.

As someone who eased up over the past 2 years approx I am getting nervous again. I can't afford to get sick again not only that, I likely won't be allowed appropriate time off from work if I was to get ill. I will be expected in work.

I am nervous. It's not right to be so sick all the time.

I was wondering if there will ever be a vaccine that will stop the transmission of the virus?

I think that is only way forward out from really going back to pre COVID living.

Yes. Covid/Flu are mutation prone so need boosters. Measles is stable so boosters not required. Various travel vaccines require top ups or boosters. Different vaccines for different viruses.

We’ve developed hybrid immunity - so a mix of defence from catching Covid naturally/exposure through vaccine.
This means that when we do/did catch it, it’s less likely to be a severe case resulting in hospitalisation or death.

“In contrast, protection from the combination of both vaccination and infection, termed "hybrid immunity", has been shown to be greater in magnitude and durability than that provided by either vaccine immunity or natural immunity alone.”
So I got vaccinated, caught Covid a while later : but my body was able to fight the virus that it recognised from previous vaccination. And I’ve had Covid twice since - but not severely. My body has sufficient hybrid immunity.

I would be concerned if I went a few years without exposure - I think that could result in a more severe case.

Not to sound smug, but I've had it twice (100% unvaccinated) and it was just a few shivers and a headache. Was fine by day four. Maybe stop jacking yourselves up with vaccines.
