    hot pancakes

    was just reading cnbc, both vaccinated people with booster shots and unvaccinated people are all catching on the new variant. all are having mild to moderate symptoms from what i’ve read

    the good news bad news is, it currently doesn’t seem to have that harsh of symptoms, but if vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals are experiencing nearly the same symptoms, what does that mean for vaccine efficacy against this new variant?

    if symptoms arent harsh that means there'll be less deaths / hospitalizations while the vaccine gets modified

    If there is a whole new vaccine being made for it, I'm sure we are not heading towards better times. Dr Fauci's statement of Omicron not being more severe than Delta seemed like a half truth to keep the public calm. There seems to be a narrative being pushed that it's not as bad, but high contagiousness will lead to more mutations and a high rate hospitalization is better than death but not a good thing either.

    Typically, as viruses mutate, they get weaker

    I don't think keeping the general public calm is a negative thing. I just think you have to read between the lines with Fauci's statement.

    I don't think Fauci ever speaks in absolutes, so people will always focus on worst case scenarios.

    new vaccines have been in the works for a while.
