Experts warn against expecting a future without Covid.
During an online panel organized by the World Economic Forum on Monday, prominent experts warned against a future without Covid.
Anthony Fauci, the US president’s chief medical adviser, said it is still unknown whether Covid-19 will change from a pandemic to an endemic in 2022.
He noted that only smallpox had been eradicated by humans, but that would never be the case with Covid-19.
According to Fauci, endemicity refers to a non-disruptive existence that does not require removal.
In the struggle against Covid-19, he also stressed the necessity of teamwork.
“We would be much, much better off as a society if we all pulled together,” he added.
The Omicron version is not as dangerous as the Delta variant, according to Annelies Wilder-Smith, a prominent researcher at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Diseases.
While this is encouraging, she cautioned that Omicron will not be the last variety.
She also emphasized Omicron’s high transmissibility rate, saying that the world should be prepared for the worst-case scenario, which would be the introduction of a variation with both high transmissibility and high mortality.
The vaccines were the attention of Stephane Bancel, CEO of COVID vaccine producer Moderna.
According to him, the vaccines were quite effective in reducing Covid-19-related deaths, as seen by the recent Omicron wave.
“We’re now working on ramping up our manufacturing capacity even more, as well as a booster that will be enough to receive annually,” Bancel said.
Covid, according to Richard Hatchett, CEO of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), is bringing the globe closer to that equilibrium.
Nonetheless, he warned that it may become a pandemic at any time.
He went on to say that the virus has this capability.
