until countries around the world have more equal and ready access to vaccines, experts say.
“It’s partly why people started facetiously calling these things ‘scariants,’” said Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease doctor and a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. The number of mutations observed with the omicron variant hasn’t previously been seen with other strains, Adalja said. There are concerns that specific mutations to the spike protein could make the omicron variant less vulnerable to the so-called neutralizing antibodies generated by vaccines or natural immunity from previous Covid-19 infections.
"We have a whole bunch of tools now that we didn't have before," he said."But it's disappointing, for sure. There was kind of this general feeling that we're coming off this delta wave, we're triple-boosted, and it could almost be like 2019 again."
Don't care

If COVID-19 is anywhere, it is potentially everywhere. COVID-19 vaccines will save many lives.
Because fear of the unknown is an excellent tool to seize power.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!! 👎
The vaccine doesn’t work. It won’t prevent you from catching Covid, spreading Covid or dying from Covid. The dangerous side effects of the vax range from myocarditis to Bell’s Palsy. Fight Covid fascism, do not comply.
selectedwisdom Between a rock and a hard place. If the information is presented to the public, it's considered a 'scare tactic'. If it isn't presented soon enough, it's 'why didn't anyone warn us'

They need jobs too and they will do it for less.
Why are you tweeting out a nearly week-old story full of information that’s already dated?
What is wrong with reporters they do not go into key critical detail of public crises? Omicron has mutated with genes of other disease that may make it effect milder. More mutation is not necessary bad if its less harmless mutation...
How effective are existing vaccines? Thank you
Back to normal BuildBackBetter variants!
Omicrons real name a Common Cold
Because science evolves unlike GQP WHO DEVOLVES into insanity.
What a coincidence. Last couple a weeks Africa was out here with fewer cases than the rest of the world and a low vaccinated population now a new Variant Lol 😂
Paywall
The article needs to be updated - it is in the US
'A booster shot in America has a far smaller effect of preventing variants than the first dose that someone gets in Chad or Benin or Togo,' this is a lie. One shot is useless against Delta, let alone Omicron, while the 3rd shot effectively eliminated symptomatic disease of Delta.
propaganda
What a shame the US has abundant vaccine but stupid people would rather take horse dewormer. Send the vaccine to the countries that have low vaccination rates so we can get out of this.
Shut up already it's being overblown.
Get vaccinated, wear a mask, social distance and go about your business safely. Why? B/c THERE'S just NO GETTING AROUND IT. It's up to all of us to choose to come together to stop the spread to end the pandemic. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Just do right.
