I think skipping doses might actually increase the likelihood of addiction. One of the things I recall that made oxycontin so problematic was Purdue's insistence to prescribe it as a 12-hour dose. There was an article I recall reading

Headlines like "Sam Bankman-Fried’s Plans to Save the World Went Down in Flames" paint him in a more positive light than he deserves IMO. There were no plans to save the world.

If it went from 100% IFR (original strain) to 80% IFR (Original + Omicron spike) how did it not reduce the severity? Sure it's more severe than Omicron by itself so there were other factors as well, but it does seem like a decrease in
