Covid-𝜊

Read as “Covid-Omicron.” Also known as the B.1.1.529 or “Omicron” variant. South Africa’s second “variant of concern”—after the Beta variant (B.1.351)—is thought to be more infectious and transmissible than the Delta variant, and can apparently bypass some, if not all, of the protection from WHO-approved vaccines.

What are the odds that profiteering-driven vaccine makers would soon recommend that folks, who have recently received their booster shot against the Delta variant, to also receive their fourth jab against Covid-𝜊?

WHO’s second “variant of concern” for South Africa—after the Beta variant (B.1.351)—that is thought to be more infectious and transmissible than the Delta variant, and can apparently bypass most of the protection offered by presently approved vaccines.

What are the odds that profit-driven vaccine makers would soon pressure folks who were recently boosted against the Delta variant to go for a fourth shot to protect themselves against the unprovenly deadliest Covid-𝜊?
