The Hill: Omicron poses unanswerable questions about the outlook for the U.S. economic recovery. 
 
NBC News: “I don’t think we know anything about the virulence. What we’re worried more about is the transmissibility and the immune-evasion capabilities,” said Amesh Adalja, a specialist in infectious diseases at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.

I had the booster.  Might not do all that much good.  🙁
I had Moderna for the first two, but they gave me Pfizer for #3.

You’d Rather Get a Coronavirus Vaccine Through Your Nose

Some experts say a vaccine puffed in the nose would be better at protecting people from infection. But nasal vaccines won’t be ready right away.
 
The hope is that mucosal vaccines will do all that their intramuscular competitors can and more, mounting a multipronged attack on the coronavirus from the moment it tries to breach the body’s barriers, said Deepta Bhattacharya, an immunologist at the University of Arizona.

Under ideal circumstances, both types of vaccines would marshal a response in the blood. B cells, for example, would churn out antibodies — including a particularly potent disease-fighter called IgG — to roam the body in search of invaders to dispatch. Other cells, called T cells, would either help B cells produce antibodies or seek out and destroy infected cells.

But vaccines spritzed through the nose or mouth would also tap into another set of immune cells that hang around mucosal tissues. The B cells that reside here can make another type of antibody, called IgA, that plays a large role in bringing gut and airway pathogens to heel. And T cells in this neighborhood can memorize the features of specific pathogens, then spend the rest of their lives patrolling the places they first encountered them.

I read recently that SARS-CoV-2 was spreading rapidly in white tail deer in the East and Midwest.  If that is the case it's here to stay and I would imagine it will end up in our food sooner than later.

It might help with those whose primary basis for declining a COVID vaccine is a fear of needles.

Yup, that's what I was thinking.

I'm not sure that's a significant portion of the population, but I'm sure it applies to SOME folks, anyway.

Given the scale and stubbornness of vaccine refusal in 2021, I'll gladly see a chunk of that go away whatever the reason.
