Omicron might not be as worrisome as being made out
Here we go again. Bill Gates, the Cassandra of epidemics for some years now, and also the world’s leading vaccine proselytizer, posted a series of tweets last Tuesday, saying that the world could be entering the worst phase of the pandemic and that he had cancelled all his Christmas plans. The two combining is “certainly possible", just as it is certainly possible that even if I drive perfectly carefully on the Delhi-Jaipur highway, a camel can suddenly stray into my path. Vaccine makers like Pfizer and Moderna can stoke fears to build an infinite profit timeline where we have to take booster doses every six months. To end, Bill Gates again: “Omicron moves so quickly that once it becomes dominant in a country, the wave there should last less than three months."
