No that would be by design.
particularly if Omicron really is milder to the unvaccinated as well. (that is still an IF). all those vaccinated people will be at the leading edge of the fight to make Omicron the dominant if not the only version of the virus. They will have been a strong wind behind the evolution to "flu like" alterations...
Still go an get vaccinated, Still go and get your boosters. You can't leave this to nature, because nature is constantly trying to kill you. There is not "mother earth" or Gaia... there is only the on-going war that is life. Everything competing to eat or out compete each other for resources to make sure their offspring get to fight the same fight.
- dukeofdoom 5y agoThe idea of getting more people sick, seems counter intuitive as a goal of a vaccine. Correct me if I'm misreading your comment. Scientists made a vaccine that was by "design" to get: a) "more people sick with new milder variants." b) "more people sick with stronger variants" You're claiming a) if it turns out true. b) makes no sense as a vaccination goal. a) really seems unethical gamble if it turns it's false and we end up with b)
