It should, but no one is one hundred percent certain yet. Hence the further testing going on, the biggest problem is the rat of mutation and the way the mutation works.Moderna did not immediately respond to a request for comment but said in a statement provided to other media outlets that it expects “that the Moderna vaccine-induced immunity would be protective against the variants recently described in the U.K.,” and that it “will be performing additional tests in the coming weeks to confirm this expectation.”
Pfizer pointed out that when SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, first emerged a year ago, it was clear there was more than one strain of it, and that it was mutating as it spread. SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus, and as such, it has “exceptionally high [mutation] rates” [b]because the enzymes it uses for replication are “prone to errors when making new virus copies,” the company said.
“One of the reasons Pfizer and BioNTech chose to utilize a mRNA platform is because of the potential for the flexibility of the technology in comparison to traditional vaccine technologies,” including the ability to change the RNA sequence in the vaccine, should a strain emerge that’s not covered by the current shot,” Pfizer added.
Truth is, its all still guess work, computer modelled guesswork i'll grant you, but guess work none-the-less Adam. [/B]
Lets just Pray/hope its all over next year.
Not sure whether you saw, but a Louisiana congressman died of Covid, two days before being sworn in. 41 year old, married father of two young kids. Apparently no underlying conditions.

not sure how i'd approach that situation. if my grandmother refused, i'd probably have advised her that she'd be a fool to refuse literally the only perk to being old af. nobody here will ever be so highly esteemed when we're old. they're on the same level as doctors and nurses ffs
Looks like the US is going to surpass 350K deaths in 2020.
