Two-thirds of disease experts believe coronavirus variants will render vaccines ineffective within one year, a new survey finds. Fewer than one in eight doctors said they believed that mutations would never make the vaccines currently available ineffective. A total of 66.2 percent believe the world has one year or less before mutations render vaccines ineffective. 18.2 percent thought we had 2 years or more before mutations render the current vaccines ineffective and new or modified vaccines are required. As of Tuesday, at least 10,985 cases of coronavirus variants from the UK, South Africa and Brazil have been reported across in every state.
