I have heard of this thing called “ mutation “, on the spike protein, that changes the nature of the virus, and defeats elements of previously used vaccines.
The variants are growing weaker.... for all we know this omicron may be more of a cure than a disease... it may be the variant that provides mass herd immunity.
@ post 27 - yeah the vaccinated are creating them. Biology 101. Environmental pressure put on a virus that replicates every ten hours will select for strain that gets around the pressure. Hopefully you are not contributing to the mutation factory.
Doctor here.
Virus almost always, ALWAYS mutate to infect more people. They do this by becoming less severe, less deadly so their victims will still spend more time in public spreading that virus.
Think about it.
Time for Omicron parties!
