Ultimately, no one will be able to avoid being infected with the Omicron strain of the coronavirus. However, vaccinated people will endure the infection more easily.

This was stated by Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, reports RBC-Ukraine, referring to CNN.

The most serious consequences of this strain, the infectious disease doctor is convinced, will be experienced by unvaccinated people on whom Omicron will deal the "main blow".

"Omicron, with its incredible, unprecedented degree of spreading efficiency, will eventually find almost everyone. Those who have been vaccinated and re-inoculated will probably be exposed, and some will probably tolerate it well enough in the sense that they won't be hospitalized and die," he believes.

Janet Woodcock, acting director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, also believes that most people will contract COVID.

Recall that Pfizer has named a deadline for the emergence of a vaccine against the Omicron strain.

Note that the WHO predicts that the difficult situation with COVID-19 in the world will last at least another three months.
