Nobody is disputing that. The question is how much.

That's exactly the comparison.
- javagram 5y agoDeploying an omicron-specific vaccine without any safety trials or testing seems likely to be safer than variolation using live omicron virus to intentionally infect millions (moreover, expecting those millions to actually self isolate is unrealistic - a significant percentage of them would go out to stores or social events and spread the virus more rapidly to seniors) Our health authorities are too scared of making mistakes to do either though, so it seems purely hypothetical either way.
