This Omicron variant seems like an obvious coverup for vaccine failure now that flu-season is here. But I may be wrong.<p>I mean it probably exists as a variant, but there are many variants and probably nothing special about this one except marketing because it's politically convenient.
Still nothing for kids under 12, while in the US 5 and up can be vaccinated.<p>Still masks only in school corridors, but not in classrooms.
Still no masks or mitigations at all in primary schools.<p>The fake grass roots group "Us4them" has the ear of MPs, to try and push herd immunity via kids in schools.
“The gap between second doses and boosters is also being reduced from six to three months”<p>I think I’m at 7 months. I was going to get the booster but with Omicron perhaps it’s better to wait?<p>Maybe the idea is that we’re getting a second booster after the vaccine is adjusted for the new variant?
