Or else?

This was reported about the UK strain on Bloomberg and elsewhere; it's true. But no evidence has yet shown that the vaccines would not work on the new strain. We'll see.

A CNN report on Europe and its response to the new strain.

Edit:  A second CNN article.  Walter Reed Hospital is reviewing to see if the mutated strain ignores the vaccine.
