The vaccine manufacturing/distribution part of this story is going to be a colossal disaster in ways you would not have imagined.

The best time to start making a BA.2 vaccine was when BA.2 was declared a variant of concern on the 26th of November 2021.
The 2nd best time was literally any time in 2022.
The 3rd best time is when governments asked for BA.5 shots.
The 4th best time is still now, for BA.2.75.

Omicron was declared a variant of concern on the 26th of November 2021.
"very ahead of schedule."

"The timing couldn't be better..." because the public only just now figured out that there is more to severity than novelty

we might have actually prevented the soon-to-be endemicity of monkeypox almost everywhere had we shipped to Nigeria those vaccines we let expire. incompetence and negligence fed by racism. similar to the "expert" reaction to the Israeli booster campaign - wrong and racist

This was about Delta.
Not only did they not make a vaccine for Delta, but they told folks it their two shots (3-4 weeks apart) taken months ago of a 2019-strain made Delta into a cold.
That it was anxiety.
"The science has changed" since then, but uptake is killed.
No regret.

remember all those anti-booster takes she published? do you think she ever interviewed the Israeli MDs involved in the booster campaign?
here's one example:

Still about Delta.
Telling people that their third dose was taking away vaccines from Africa.
Only 20.7% of people in low-income countries have received a dose as of today.
Production is down, vaccines expired.
You can skip your flu shot too but it won't go to Africa.

anyone wondering why the US has dismal booster uptake can start with there
A part of me wants to go back to school so I can write a PhD thesis on how the "experts" sabotaged our COVID-19 response. but it would probably be hard to get such research published. no accountability

What's really headsmacking here though is that aerosol transmission was established for the 80% identical SARSCOV1, and we had the Washington choir practice super spreading event. Clutching to dogma was so strong that even direct evidence couldn't shake it initially.

... variant diversity and frequencies, phylogenies from Nextstrain for context on variant evolution, summary of early predictors of waves (wastewater, variant growth, patterns elsewhere that usually precede what occurs here).
What else would be good to include?

Proposal for a completely independent group to run a dashboard to replace the soon to be disbanded Ontario Science Table. Some things that could be included: wastewater, hospitalizations and deaths, test positivity, etc., but also...

Someone from your esteemed university who is not an ID doc & has never published on polio or monkeypox is using a PR firm to secure interviews on these issues.

Never forget the admins who told HCWs they couldnβt wear masks to protect themselves early in the pandemic. They were more worried about patient satisfaction (ie profits) than patient or staff safety.
Not a single one should be employed today.

This makes zero sense. If NOT doing something has KNOWN and SIGNFICANT harms, the precautionary principle dictates implementing measures as long as a) there is good reason to expect a benefit and b) they involve significantly lower expected harms than inaction.

Exactly. So why wasn't it done for Omicron in January 2022?
25 Aug 2022
Real world evidence from the current mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, which have been administered to millions of individuals, show us that the vaccines are safe. As we know from prior experience, strain changes can be made without affecting safety.
