Correct.. this is why it's critical that people still take the usual precautions (avoiding crowds, indoors, public restrooms, public transportation, using masks, etc) even after vaccination. The 30% of US citizens who claim they will never get a vaccine are in danger of allowing these variants to remain alive while the rest of the population can resist them, which increases chances of mutations that will allow for reinfections or infection of the previously vaccinated. LLMab needs to be available if there's going to be any hope of successfully dealing with that.
