Dammit. Go away.
Narrator: It did not go away.

Not sure what you are expecting to occur. Variants will continue forever. This is endemic, vaccines are not effective at preventing infection, and reinfection with Omicron and its subvariants are happening much quicker then ever before regardless of vaccination status.

Multiple boosters also show no benefit as per new studies and is a fruitless endeavor.

Omicron targeted vaccines seem to offer little additional effectiveness against infection over current vaccines.

Endemic reality: We may get seasonal boosters with the season's more prevalent variants to give us an 30-40% vaccine effectiveness against infections for circulating variants like we do for the seasonal flu. People will die, others will get complications, we will get seasons that are worse then others.
