Some people claim that there isn't even any virus. I don't know, sure viruses could just be exosomes, but in that case COVID still exists as a mind virus one might say, and that too can mutate. It's like a meme that Richard Dawkins wrote about.
The current vaccines protect against all the current strands to differing degree. But in all cases it protects well against hospitalisation and death.
Rejecting the existence of the virus is like my father in law who refuses to believe it when someone gets cancer. It's a protection mechanism of the mind. It's too hard for him to face illness.
