The head of American vaccine maker Moderna said in an interview with Financial Times that their vaccine may not be strongly effective against the new Omicron variant. Stephane Bancel said in an interview published yesterday that it will take months to develop a new version of the vaccine that is tested and confirmed to be effective against the new strain of Covid-19 that is causing a global panic. Omicron is still so new that solid data is not yet available, so there is some hope that the new variant won’t be as vaccine resistant, severe, or transmissible as many fear, […]

Ok...there are about 220 people in the world so far that have Omicron (which sounds like a transformer toy). They have only just worked out the genomic sequence of this strain to be able to identify it! Then it's being blamed on Africa and now we learn the first case was actually in the Netherlands! So maybe the CEO of Moderna, and the rest of us for that matter, need to take a chill pill and see what happens.

we are doomed, slowly we are become ginny pigs, this guys are daily detecting new forms of killers, we need to get injected with the same killers ( active and inactive).

there is no guarantee we stop with O Micron, we will find more variants and new vaccines.

possibly everyday morning to office, we stand in queue to get vaccine shot and return back home we get another.
