People who were repeatedly vaccinated for COVID-19 — initially receiving shots aimed at the original variant, followed by boosters and updated vaccines targeting variants — generated antibodies capable of neutralizing a wide range of SARS-CoV-2 variants and even some distantly related coronaviruses.

Why does this paper begin, "The covid pandemic is over..."? That is untrue.

It *must* be a typo, right?

Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, no scientist would ever write that, right?

Seems like a pretty solid source.

Since the sentence that claims that then immediately follows it up by saying that people are still being hospitalized by it, I think they mean that medically speaking the pandemic *is* over, because the disease is now endemic. Though they could be clearer on that.

Last I heard, the WHO still classifies it as a pandemic even tho they called an end to the international public health emergency.

Seems like they just haven't gotten around to updating that verbiage.
