While vaccination lowers the risk of death and hospitalization, it may not lower the risk of catching Covid and it does not eliminate the risk of dying from Covid, even in the triple vaccinated.

Therapeutics are still needed.

Israel a country where Covid vaccination is almost universal. Below are reports from January 2022.

"The Health Ministry updated its coronavirus figures on Friday, revealing that nearly 70,000 Israelis tested positive for COVID-19 the day before, with the number of patients in serious condition climbing to 638.

Total active cases rose to 427,023 and 1,758 Israelis were hospitalized in all, with 123 of them on ventilators.

At least 9,867 medical staff were sidelined after contracting COVID themselves, including 1,379 doctors and 2,916 nurses, the ministry said."

"On Wednesday, the Israeli government reported that a record 11,978 new infections were registered the day before. That beats the previous high of 11,345 infections in a single day set Sept. 2 during the Delta variant wave."

"Israel also is on the cusp of making available drugs that could help people in at-risk groups avoid severe infections."

"There is no control of the Omicron wave,” Sharon Alroy-Preis, the Israeli Health Ministry’s top public health official, said on Israel’s Channel 13 this week."

Since the vaccines do not eliminate deaths or hospitalization, what will we do for the next variant which may be more deadly than Omicron. Are we going to give a 4th vaccine like the Israelis? Will it make sense to give the 5th, 6th or 7th vaccine booster?

IMO this is the time to develop therapeutics.
