Everyone Will Get Omicron, Boosters Won't Stop It: Top Medical Expert -Akhil Kumar

"A majority of us will not know we have been infected, probably more than 80% will not even know when we have it," said Dr. Jaiprakash Muliyil.

New Delhi: The Omicron variant of Covid-19 is "almost unstoppable" and everyone will eventually be infected with it, a top government expert told NDTV. Booster vaccine doses won't stop the rapid spread of the virus, he added. ''It makes no difference. The infection will occur. It has occurred all over the world regardless of this,'' he said about the booster doses.

Stressing that Covid is "not a frightening disease anymore" as the new strain is milder and is leading to much less hospitalisation, he said that it's a disease we can deal with. ''... we are dealing with quite a different virus. It's much milder than Delta, as you all know, not only that, it is practically unstoppable,'' Dr. Jaiprakash Muliyil, epidemiologist and chairperson of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the National Institute of Epidemiology at the Indian Council of Medical Research, said, adding that Omicron presents itself just like the cold.
