This new research helps confirm, unsurprisingly, that Omicron will be more difficult to control
Data here shows very large reduction in neutralization of Omicron among vax’d ppl.
This is Not end of the world at all, but confirms need for vigilance

Additionally (and for a different thread) it is clear that concerns Of having a narrow vaccine as our primary intervention is going to come up short. It’s always been the case, despite media, that infections (should you do ok through them) would offer robust immunity.

I’ve said many times we should be considering vaccines that are not solely a Wuhan strain spike only but perhaps boost, for example, w live attenuated or some other form of vax that offers immune system a broader education
As I said last year, Narrow vaccines can be shortsighted

They will be v protective compared to no vaccine and will be highly protective in the few months after vaccination. But even boosts will wane. We should probably recognize the limitations of our current vaccines and be honest about what they do well and don’t do well.
And to be exceptionally clear my tweet above about infections is NOT promoting getting infected! It’s just recognizing the reality that infections should not be ignored as a component of our community immunity. We’ve tended to ignore them and our FDA has overtly ignored them.
