It’s not enough to make variant-targeting vaccines. You also have to target vaccines to developing countries as well. That’s where 100% of the new variants are coming from. What good is a variant-targeting vaccine if the world community doesn’t get the developing world vaccinated?
Alpha came out of the UK. The first strain of covid that swept the US was also from Europe. The original Wuhan strain was never a factor in the US. We banned flights from China but when covid first hit hard here, it came out of Europe. That's why New York was the original big hotspot in the US. That's also why flight bans have limited utility.Variants can come out of anywhere. I do agree that in a ideal world that developing countries would also have good vaccine access. Unfortunately, this is the real world. That doesn't happen. Rich countries will continue to hoard vaccines. Poor countries will continue to go wanting. We will all continue to be at risk because of that. That's one thing that's been lost in this omicron surge. It does really seem more mild so people aren't as concerned that so many people are infected. More infected people means more variants.
According to the poop watchers, omicron may have already peaked at least in some parts of the United States. It's showing that characteristic steep drop off.
