There are 90 strains of pneumonia-causing strep alone. The current shots cover 80-90% of those cases, but they are trying to add more. Because of course as we vaccinate for the primary species, the lesser strains will simply rise to prominence in the niche we created for them.

Then after that, how many other new shots will it take to cover all the other strains of all the other strep diseases? How long before there is a 91st strain of S. pneumoniae? It's a losing battle. We will always have horrible diseases. The herd will always get thinned, one way or another.
