Redfield, who notably told Fox News months ago that a new variant would emerge and become the “dominant strain” – as omicron has – told “Die storie” that this cycle will continue for the foreseeable future.
“This is the reality of what we’re up against with this current virus, that it’s going to continue to evolve, and if that virus evolves to the point that it has a replication advantage over the dominant variant, it will replace it,” hy het gesê.
“When I suggested we would have a new variant to replace delta, I thought there would be a new variant with a replication advantage, particularly with people that have been infected or ingeënt and their immunity is waning. That’s what we’re seeing.”
