Yes, trace the real roots and then U will find the answer.

Not necessarily, if you have a protein that is a good target for the antibodies but find a lot of mutations in one part of it, research can focus in the part where the mutations are not happening.
Instead of blindly trying with something that changes all the time the vaccine is produced with the part that does not and it will be more likely to produce useful results.

I don't think finding mutations sets back development. Not knowing about any mutations is surely a bigger setback.
(I'm not an expert.)

Good. Tracking mutations can help find a vaccine.
