Well, there's actual news. That didn't take long.
By now, you've heard about the Omicron variant of the COVID virus. Almost everything that we learn about this variant is yet to come, because we don't know much at all right now. Omicron's structure has been analyzed, and it seems that it could be trouble, on the transmissibility front and the vaccine-evading front. But we don't have any evidence of how it actually works in the real world, because we haven't identified enough people who have it for long enough to tell us anything.
But a line in the CNN article about Omicron seems ominous:
"Vaccine makers were fast to identify the variant as a concern. Moderna said the Omicron variant represents a 'significant potential risk' to its Covid-19 vaccine."
Uh-oh.
I just got boostered with Moderna - essentially my third Moderna shot - last week. And this little bugger may know the way around all of them.
That would be very bad news, and change the game, so to speak. More to come.
