Vaccines Not Durable, Omicron Might Turn COVID-19 Endemic: Bill Gates

Bill Gates, in a Twitter discussion Tuesday, said that the current COVID-19 vaccines were missing two key factors, and claimed that Omicron might bring about a wave of immunity in communities it passes through. …When asked about a breakthrough that could result in the biggest difference in ending the pandemic, he talked about the efficacy of vaccines. “The vaccines we have prevent severe disease and death very well but they are missing two key things. First they still allow infections (‘breakthrough’) and the duration appears to be limited. We need vaccines that prevent re-infection and have many years of duration,” Gates said. …In July, a consortium backed by George Soros and Gates was involved in a buyout of Mologic, a COVID-19 testing company.
