I keep thinking about this. If you combine the probabilities that the virus will evade vaccines along with it mutating to be deadly, the combination is probably a very small number. However, Omicron is spreading all over the world which increases the chance this happens.

And this being an RNA virus it can and will change again, and what the parameters of that next version will be is anybody's guess.
