I wrote this before right? I think an omicron specific vaccine will probably help as a booster, and a nasal spray in the future.
I don't think dose #4 of the original vaccine is that useful. Of course the Pfizer CEO would say differently, several billion dollars of his net worth depend on it. Dose 3 gets you broader immunity and that turns out to be important for omicron. Dose 4? Who knows.
I'm hoping that the omicron wave burns out fast at least. It is in some places and not others. Always hard to know why.
I think the US Army vaccine is still in very early development and there's no particular reason to think it will be good or bad at this stage. Not enough data.
