Other scientists and government officials have expressed optimism thatOmicron’s rapid spread and milder outcomes could signal an eventual shift to learning to live with the virus, much like the world does with seasonal flu. Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla told French newspaper Le Figaro that life could soon return to normal.
“We don’t want to get into a whack-a-mole for every variant, where you have to make a booster against a particular variant,” said Fauci, who is the director of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases. “You’ll be chasing it forever.” “It should be in the clinic in the coming weeks. And we’re hoping in the March time frame we should be able to have data to share with regulators to figure out the next step forward,” he said.
