While I agree it is still early to draw conclusions on omicron - the fact that we are talking about a third shot a year after it's introduction tells me that vaccination isn't the way out of this pandemic.
Vaccines can work, but not with the west going full retard like it has because in order for vaccines to work, the entire world need to all achieve herd immunity at as close to the same time as possible. Otherwise you will always run the risk of new variants resetting your vaccination progress if you have significant unvaccinated or worse, particularly vaccinated, populations allowing it to continue to spread and mutate.
Thus realistically speaking, it’s now a waiting game for the virus to evolve into a tame enough and stable enough a variant that we can live with the losses from massive natural infections in combination with vaccinations. Over time we will evolve ourselves to be more resistant to the virus and it will be like the seasonal flu.
But as the Spanish flu proved, that is not without risk itself, since you will still have the live virus achieving up to billions of fresh infections every year with every chance of another highly lethal variant emerging at any time.
I am still hopeful that we will get lucky and that the virus will afford us long enough a window to achieve global herd immunity through vaccinations to break its back before a new vaccine evading variant emerges before we get there.
Ironically, western mRNA vaccines may be the biggest obstacle to that due to them being massively vulnerable to spike protein mutations. Together with the relentless western MSM demonising of Chinese deactivated virus vaccines, it is sadly likely they have fatally compromised global chances of getting out of this mess.
This is a classic case study of the toxic core of western supremacy and dominance, that they would rather the whole world burn than have someone other than themselves be the saviour.
