The phenomenon of original antigenic sin has been described in relation to influenza virus, SARS-CoV-2,[2] dengue fever, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) [3] and to several other viruses.[4]"
I am not a virologist, but I read a lot of really smart people. I admit, I don't understand all of this stuff. But they have been talking about this for at least two boosters. And now......it could be playing out in Israel. It seems the 4th booster has failed.
Now a background.
There are now at least three Omicron siblings. And possibly as many as five. I haven't read today. They are all different enough that you can catch all of them. There are reports of people being reinfected with Omicron(BA2) immediately after being infected with BA1. (OMICRON1)
Additionally, being infected with Omicron doesn't give you ANY protection against reinfection UNLESS you get a severe case. Mild case? Mild unhelpful antibodies. So again.... I don't really understand "Team Everyone's going to Get This's" plan. Unless they are just trying to get to get a punch in their free sub card. It feels like they are just getting themselves sick for sport at this point.
