China is "uniquely at risk" to omicron, Osterholm said, for a combination of reasons: Early studies suggest its Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines are "not very effective" against the variant, and at the same time China's success at preventing the spread of Covid so far means it has a very large population that remains vulnerable.

    Maybe should worry about his country with 1k to 3k death a day than China. The US look like a place that potentially could breed new variant.

      No, you see, we are fine. Look how many devastating covid waves we've had! That means we've had a shit ton of people infected so we have a bunch of people protected by antibodies! :jokerfication:

      We are now detecting new variants of covid in NY wastewater that seem to be coming from rats, but I'm sure we have nothing to fear since we sickened and killed so many people to appease the line gods. So many antibodies!

        Herd immunity is full proof. That's why stuff like smallpox and syphilis are only from the ancient past and wasn't a problem through most of recorded history up until vaccines.
