FDA should move toward omicron-specific booster-shot for the fall, panel says
- anovikov 4y agoSo... you want to take the strain of covid which is almost harmless, and cut it's path of propagation? Which will give advantage to every other strain, which could start propagating instead when the reproductive number of Omicron is vastly decreased with vaccination. And that strain can (randomly, because it has no connection to it's infectiveness) turn out a lot more dangerous... I don't see why anyone would want to do that. Unless the vaccine is specifically designed to make the virus even more harmless but NOT impede it's propagation, but as i see in the article they plan precisely opposite. Bad, bad idea. It will backfire terribly. Much worse than doing nothing at all. If it happens, our only hope is Pfizer's covid pill.
