Moderna Inc. Chief Medical Officer Paul Burton said he suspects the new omicron coronavirus variant may elude current vaccines

I found the Moderna's CMO's state somewhat premature and in some ways, promotional for MRNA stock. It would make more sense to say.... "IF the new omicron coronavirus variant eludes current vaccines..." that they can develop a new vaccine to manage that variant.

Saying he suspects is "may elude current vaccines" is a VERY influential statement, especially for all of those people being vaccinated already and feeling they are now at some large risk if being compromised by the new variant.

I am hearing South African doctors who are seeing these cases in their country saying all of the cases of children getting this variant has been extremely mild.
