I have a feeling COVID is going to be like this as well. Regular vaccines to protect against yearly strains and waves. I think it's just part of diseases now and we have to live with it, just like we do with the flu. And of course, all the ant-vaxxers are going to feel unduly smart as if it proves anything.
On a side note, I would much rather get a few jabs and be good for a while than to have to get test after test constantly. A few jabs is less uncomfortable than multiple tests.
