Boosters do not just STOP working at 4 weeks - sigh. They reduce in effectiveness to 50% after 3 months (on average). And yes they still help with current variants, but less than against the original. Less is not nothing, less is less.

Viruses always mutate quickly, that is why we can thank the anti-vaxers for the current variants. Had everyone gotten vaccinated as soon as possible, there would have been fewer hosts, and fewer hosts means fewer variants.
Viruses always mutate quickly?

If that's the case, please explain why the polio vaccine has been so successful...
