Effectively, yes. Omicron puts us in the endgame--Covid is an endemic disease now. It's not the endgame we wanted, but it's the endgame. Omicron is apparently as contagious as chicken pox, and chicken pox effectively infected every person (generally in waves when enough new children hadn't had it). Due to Omicron, in 30-60 days, everyone will have been infected, vaccinated, or both. Even if you could get all the human infections to zero, the animal reservoirs would simply start it up again. Welcome to the new world. Perhaps people will take a pandemic slightly more seriously next time. But I doubt it.
