I want to point out that the strategy of trying to get Omicron for future natural immunity against other strains, while probably one that will work based on what we know about viral competition, is wishful thinking and not based on scientific fact (show me a study and I’ll change my mind.)
- thepasswordis 5y agoImagine if somebody said you were required to take an injection which infected you with omicron, else you would be prohibited from participating in society. I'd be okay with the option, but not the requirement.

But we just have to imagine that, since it doesn't occur in reality, right? Vaccines actually have some verification before they are thrown into the world, they aren't just injecting Omicron into your blood stream (which, actually, many anti vaxxers would prefer, since they are paranoid about mRNA vaccines for some reason).
