The African Covid19 variant omicron with its 32 mutations to the spike protein (versus 2 for delta) could render all current vaccines largely irrelevant.
How many mutations in Delta? Shows Delta has a lot more than 2 mutations on the spike. Between 9 and 17 depending on the source.
Btw, the WHO has suggested that rather everyone getting boosters that everyone in Africa should be vaccinated. With single digit uptake vaccination rates there, it truly looks like they were proven right on that one!
We should have enough supply by now to do both.
