>>14054832>no long-lasting immunityWell, no, that's wrong. Omicron has changed enough to bypass antibody immunity from prior infection, but there's still T-cell immunity, which will likely last a lifetime. People who had SARS had T-cell reactivity to SARS-CoV-2 despite a span of two decades having passed.
>no immunity against other variantsActually it provides immunity against Delta, which is pretty cool considering it doesn't work the other way around. That's a major reason why Delta is being displaced.
>no data on long-term effectsValid, though since it's 10-fold less infectious in the lungs compared to previous variants, it's less likely to reach the bloodstream, which is the probable cause of the long term issues some people experience. It also carries a much lower risk of anosmia. Last but not least, we're all probably going to get infected whether we intend to or not unless completely isolating from society or wearing a hazmat suit in public.
>>14055061>2 years is long. 2 months isn't. Everything in the vaccines disappears after two weeks maxThe spike protein stays around in non-classical monocytes. No such issue with Omicron if it never breaks through the lungs into the bloodstream.
