MUTATIONS OF COVID 19

As a humble teacher of Biology, I have known about mutation for all my life as student and teacher. 

We learn about the common cold and influenza that come back each year renewed in a mutant form. 

There is no point to producing a vaccine as the mutation will not respond. This will go on each year forever. 

Now we have the COVID 19 virus with news that there is already a mutant form more deadly than the parent form. Is this an annual mutation?

Is the human race not wasting its time in producing vaccine if there is  renewed annual mutation that will not respond to the previous vaccination?

Professor Glen Mola of Port Moresby has claimed that the Astra Zeneca vaccine will block future mutations. That does not seem to accord to reality.

Is the human race locked into a virus that will ravage the planet for the rest of existence?

Will people have to face the danger of infection every year armed with only a strong immune system. Will the previous attack of COVID 19 count as a pre-existing infection?

Let us hope that this is not "end times". The Spanish Flu of 1918 lasted for two years. The Bubonic plague lasted over three hundred years. 

It was when the little ice age faded away and the rats moved out of the houses. Priests stopped dying but their place was never the same.

The Holy Bible took their place once published texts became available to an educated populace. The Reformation grew out of the plague.

Europe's "Little Ice Age" may have been triggered by the 14th Century Black Death plague, according to a new study. ... The Little Ice Age was a period of some 300 years when Europe experienced a dip in average temperatures.27 Feb 2006
