Covid isn't going to be cured by a vaccine. At best, it's going to require an annual shot and they hope they get the correct strain, at worst, nothing is going to change and this becomes the new norm, it eliminates a lot of people over a few years and then resistance is built up until it mutates again. Just the nature of the beast. This is a variation of the common cold more than anything else and they never came up with a good treatment for that.

All I'm hearing from the media is how wonderful this vaccine is but it really isn't. Doesn't prevent you from getting it, carrying it or spreading it

I'm only aware of three, not sure where you are getting your numbers. There are various strains of Covid, at least 7 of which affect humans and many more that affect animals but Covid 19 only has three known strains and one was just recognized last week. It is slow to mutate which is a good thing.
