At the moment is sounds a little more like a toss up between a third shot and a delta-specific one.
In a reasonable world the change to a delta-specific one would have happened months ago.
What you’re saying here (correct me if I’m way off) is that vaccines were optimized for ease of manufacture and dissemination rather than providing more comprehensive long-term immunity
No, I think the choices were awful for the goal of ease of manufacturing. The goal was getting approval to bring the vaccines to market as fast as possible (the prelimary approval type).
In a pandemic, it’s good to have vaccines available sooner then later. That’s a different goal then optimizing for cars looking good.
