Using gene-editing, they created more than 80,000 variations of the hemagglutinin protein with changes in one portion right on the top of the head domain and then tested a vaccine filled with a mixture of these variations on mice and ferrets.

It seems this "new strategy" is basically the brute-force approach.

Maybe a decade or two ago I would've been more optimistic, but it's very much in their economic interests to not have long-lasting immunity.
