> Pardon my ignorance, but does this mean by contrast that vaccines are designed to induce a uniform response across immune systems?

Also not an expert and curious, would that not be a (the?) design goal of any vaccine?

[dnautics]

there is no way for it to be perfectly uniform. Let's just say that the immune system employs several layers of RNG (random shuffling of DNA, and also it shoots mutations at certain segments of DNA) to evolve its responses.

A more uniform response than the pathogen itself? Yes. But I think the actual goal of modern vaccination is not a uniform response, but a directed response. Don't waste your time looking at these parts of the virus, spend it on this (important) part.
