    Very good to have this confirmation. When your immune system sees Omicron, it does better, later, against Delta as well!https://twitter.com/sigallab/status/1475584463941914635 …

    We have submitted new results to medRxiv: Omicron infection enhances neutralizing immunity against the Delta variant The preprint can be found here: https://sigallab.net/

        This repeated exposure/broadening optimization trick is amazing. Gradient descent, make way.

        Also note, Omicron is not a descendent of Delta—so that’s not what’s going on. Omicron evolved from a separate lineage. Still broadens immune response—similar to how vaccines with ancestral spike nowhere to be found anymore improve quantity and *quality* of the immune response.

        Since this gets asked. It *is* good news, not an argument for uncontrolled spread with no mitigations.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1475601509081616394 …

        No, not really. Too many people are still vulnerable, waiting for vaccination or boosters. Plus we have antivirals on the way for the immunocompromised, but in very short supply now. Will increase soon. Still good news, though and will impact policy trade-off calculations.

        Very interresting. But it looks like non vaccinated do not aquire great immunity against Delta?https://twitter.com/Sander_Lab/status/1475594423299985414 …

        Geimpfte entwickeln nach Omicron-Durchbruchinfektion sehr gute Immunität gegen #Omikron UND #Delta, während Ungeimpfte nach Omicron-Infektion schlechte Immunität gegen Delta aufwiesen. Impfung + Omicron-Infektion (oder +angepasste Boosterimpfung?) vermittelt breite Immunität. pic.twitter.com/U4Z0YxWF23

        People are not interpreting this preliminary data well.

        Where's the research on long covid with Omicron? That's what people should be worried about.

        I know people keep saying it's just mild - you'll get it at some point - but what about autoimmune issues/susceptibility, fully vaxxed and changes of long COVID with omicron. The legacy of long covid is haunting! And we don't talk about it enough!!
