Animal reservoirs don't seem to be causing trouble in China - my understanding is that animal to humantransmission has been observed only in minks. Vaccines have indeed been a great success - but we wait to see how much protection they give against long COVID, and how COVID might evolve to evade them. With wide circulation, there is a strong selection pressure for such evasion. Luckily Omicron was inherently milder than Delta, so the vaccines' protection against severe disease held up. Maybe we won't be so lucky the next time (and the next time, and the next time...)
