I suspect the worry is that it will be similar for the pill. Highly effective now, but less effective for future variants.
Well, the more fronts on which we attack the vaccine, the barder it will be to to evolve against all of them.
"Highly effective now" sounds like the best one can reasonably expect. Though I am very interested in the early work on a pan-coronavirus vaccine
Presumably this data is against Delta or an earlier variant but by the time it's in use covid will be 99% Omicron. I wonder how that will effect things.
sadly by the time omicron would reach 99% we might have another variant and cycle repeats.
Data released is with what was present, in time we'll get for the rest as well... Omicron right now is too new to actually know effectiveness...
