February: The vaccines will NOT work against this new variant, and thus we recommend states lock all of their populations safe and sound in their homes until there are no more cases.

The vaccine is designed to be triggered by the spike protein which has changed through evolution in the omicron variant.

It would not be following science to inject yourself with something that triggers antibodies that are trained to look for the spike protein to combat a virus that doesn't have that very same protein.

It would be unscientific, and total futility.
