Omicron will be over before the vaccines are ready. What do they do then? Seems like a waste of effort to develop a vaccine for a variant that burns out so quickly.
- Animats 5y agoIt's not clear how long immunity from having the disease will last.[1] Some people do get it more than once. The UK counts re-infections, and they're at 4% and climbing. If new variants appear, they will be mutations of the omicron variant, because it's so dominant. Large numbers of people getting sick every year or so is possible.
