The pig pathogen African Swine Fever Virus jumps species and begins to infect humans with a 33% mortality rate. You are a scientific decision maker for government or industry (decide which or answer both).
Clearly, SARS-COV-2 is evolving, and rapidly. Are humans evolving to better survive SARS-COV-2 infection? Can you think of an example where humans evolved to better tolerate a viral infection?
Think about how negatively many members of the public have reacted to GMOs or to vaccines against SARS-COV-2. Did Edward Jenner or Lois Pasteur face these difficulties? If you could go back to pre-pandemic times, how would you introduce vaccines without alienating so many people?
Jenner was widely ridiculed. Critics, especially the clergy, claimed it was repulsive and ungodly to inocculate someone with material from a diseased animal. A satirical cartoon of 1802 showed people who had been vaccinated sprouting cow's heads. But the obvious advantages of vaccination and the protection it provided won out, and vaccination soon became widespread. Jenner became famous and now spent much of his time researching and advising on developments in his vaccine.
