Agreed, every virus mutates, every virus has always mutated, our immune system is designed to handle this. We have never been able to deny a virus the resources used to multiply and adapt, we've only found the resources to teach our immune systems to fight the things we can isolate in a lab, which almost never as quick and/or effective as nature.
