Omicron has too many unknowns

Fauci’s predictions that Omicron will turn endemic is only a possibility if a new variant doesn’t emerge. The possibility of another variant is dangerous as it could ” elude the immune response to the prior variant.” Read more about it here.

There is still more to learn about Omicron and its affects on the future of the COVID-19 pandemic.
