“Omicron, with its unprecedented degree of transmissibility, will eventually find everyone. The vaccinated and those who have taken the third dose will be exposed "to the variant and many of them" will probably be infected but, most likely, they will not end up in the hospital and will not die ".

Anthony Fauci, the American super-expert in infectious diseases and advisor to Joe Biden for Covid, is sure of this, pointing out that the unvaccinated will pay a higher price instead. According to him, there is a glimmer of light: the United States could be on the threshold of a transition period after which it could become possible to live with Covid.

In the United States, meanwhile, anti-Covid vaccinations started this week with the fourth dose for fragile subjects. The latest directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have authorized its inoculation.

The same experts of the CDC have in fact indicated the opportunity of another booster for those who are immunocompromised of the vaccine five months after the third dose. In general, the vaccination rate in the United States is lower than in the past, but the number of people receiving boosters is increasing.
