doesn't really matter what the CDC thinks, I think most doctors are still going to recommend it, because most of them aren't fucking idiots.

Does having a wider population sharing the disease lead to mutation and weakening of the efficacy of the vaccine for the people who get it?

that would be a question you would need to ask an actual scientist.
