The vaccine would only work for a few months - even for Omicron, never mind future variants.
Unless you plan to get a booster every 4 months vaccines are not a viable strategy.

Researchers are not standing still, new vaccines are being researched, and even if we can only make short lived vaccines, it doesn't mean that vaccines are not a viable strategy. Flu vaccines are a viable strategy, they save many lives despite a rather low effectiveness and requiring yearly injections.
