>Anyway, curious if you have thoughts on this -- I just don't think we'll immunize our way out of covid based on what I just said. My best hope is that variants like Omicron that don't cause as many deaths/major symptoms start to dominate -- but considering covid typically spreads before it kills victims, the only pressure toward mild symptoms comes from the general pressure to avoid wasting energy killing your victims when you could spread instead.

That is exactly what i think is actually happening / happened, my case using other words. It has been like this for any other pandemic, the only difference is this time we were able to flatten/proloung the curve to some degree by means of prevention and healthcare.
