Boy, do I hesitate to do this but here goes.

Op do you think we wouldn’t hear about it if you didn’t post it here?
 
A new study out of Columbia University says the Omicron variant is “markedly resistant” to vaccines and boosters might not do much to help.

The concluding statement is sobering:

“It is not too far-fetched to think that this [COVID-19] is now only a mutation or two away from being pan-resistant to current antibodies,” it says. “We must devise strategies that anticipate the evolutional direction of the virus and develop agents that target better conserved viral elements.”

Blah blah blah. When did stump and dickmeat have a child?

Or you and everyone like you can STFU and move on with your life and stop worrying about Covid already

The virulence of the Delta strain come from a mutation to the N-protein and not the S-protein. If Omicron does this and it allows it to reproduce with much higher viral loads, that would be problematic because some have already determined that Omicron produces 70 times more virus in the nasal mucosa than Delta.

Hate break it to you but this virus is here to stay. Its going to make its way through society. Its going to infect everyone on this thread at least once and if they survive will infect them several more times in their lifetime.

Get used to it.

While it’s true that vaccine antibodies are only 33% effective against this variant, the T cell immune response is just as effective against it as it is against the original alpha virus. It’s the T cell response which protects against severe disease and hospitalizations.

Don't be coming in here with truth...some can't handle truth, can only handle what Sir Fauci, the CDC, and the marxist media CNN spews.

There are also millions of other viral and bacterial threats, including the possibility of more mutated disease and pandemic level outbreaks. It's overwhelming until you realize that's been the case since the inception of humanity, and certainly since you were born. Just keep rolling and living without fear ... it's good medicine.
 
I'm worried about the next variant and the next.
Viruses cause more mild symptoms over time as they mutate. Its science. Viruses want the host to live.

Can anyone name one virus that resulted in more severe symptoms over time? I have been looking but apparently it is pretty rare.

Is it because this one was manipulated through gain of function research in Wuhan (which Fauci lied about our involvement in funding) and no one is going to hold them accountable because they are our economic daddy these days?
