It is difficult to know what sources of information to trust. I already have antibodies, and thought I would be ok for a while. If this is a new strain, how would they know to make a vaccine for it, and how many vaccines will I need each year?

Also, the article here says "case count". I'm really interested in the count of "excess deaths".

The current vaccine is a new technology, which codifies the spike protein in mRNA. SAR-COV-2 works by using their spike protein to attach to your body's ACE2 receptors, This new vaccine time is targeting something that is invariant and integral to SAR-COV viruses (the spike protein which gives it entrance) and almost certainly covers the new variant

I already have the antibodies (from June), so it seems I won't need that vaccine. Right? Or in other words, my antibodies would almost certainly cover the new variant.

I'm also a lay person so take this with a grain of salt. There isn't evidence that this new variant can reinfect people who previously had covid and all the expert speculation I've heard is that it probably won't break out of immunity. It's better to be cautious, but also no need to think the worst
