These two arguments you’re making contradict each other - the vaccine protection from the variant without an update shortens the pandemic period. An announcement that everyone needs to shelter in place while a new vaccine is developed is actually what would prolong it.

Also, you seem to be placing more trust in an early “news report” than a scientific study, which makes no sense.
