People need to stop being obsessed with variants, the more people that vaccinate, the more variants. That’s how it works. The harder it is for a virus to survive forces a mutation. Its as good as its " bad".

People should be lining up to catch Omicron from what it seems.

That’s not how it works. Variants come about not just from evolutionary pressures, but also people passing around the virus. The more transmission, the more copies. The more copies, the more mutations. And the more mutations, the more variants. By reducing risk of transmission, vaccines help avoid variants. That’s why it’s vital to get vaccines to regions that have low rates, especially Africa. Without something close to universal vaccination availability, we’ll just keep getting waves of variants.
