Final update from this session with BJ:
There's two ways of reading in to this; 1) There will be more effective jabs in the future. 2) Those who have been jabbed, will need to be rejabbed.
Boosters are already in swing in the UK and there's talk of another booster, probably for the original jabbed to protect them from Omicron persei 8.
That means that an unjabbed person will benefit more from being jabbed shortly, than OG jabberees. OG jabberees may have to have another set of jabs at worse, or another booster at best. That would be 4 or 5 jabs in total.
What's the mortality rate of the jab? Now double that...

Rethink needed on anti-viral pills - Whitty
At the Downing Street press conference this afternoon, the UK's chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty also said anti-viral pills for Covid-19, which were approved by the UK earlier this month, needed a "rethink" because of the new variant.
The first pill designed to treat symptomatic Covid was approved by the UK medicines regulator earlier this month.
"On the anti-virals, we are going to have to do a bit of a rethink on the basis of this new variant just to be confident we've got the right indications from it," Whitty said.
He said that it was vital to make sure the drugs were used in the "most effective way and for the right people".
Updated versions of vaccines against Covid variants are already being designed and tested, in case they are needed at some point.
