        We studied people who were infected with Omicron close to when they had symptoms and about 2 weeks later:pic.twitter.com/6xjGOZU5E2

        The increase neutralizing immunity against Omicron was expected - that is the virus these individuals were infected with. However, we also saw that the same people - especially those who were vaccinated - developed enhanced immunity to the Delta variant.

        If, as it currently looks like from the South African experience, Omicron is less pathogenic, then this will help push Delta out, as it should decrease the likelihood that someone infected with Omicron will get re-infected with Delta.

        If that's true, then the disruption Covid-19 has caused in our lives may become less.

        Why is this fantastic? Genuinely don’t get it. I’m happy for the people who got sick, because there’s a silver lining…I guess?

        LOL, two years into this pandemic taught you nothing.. Mass infections are not building immunity walls, they build coffins and new variants! Did omicron care for Delta “Immunity”? Why do you think Pi will care for omicron “immunity”? O
