Thanks for providing this, it seems extremely important for trying to predict how the pandemic will play out. So we should have been much more scared of COVID variants than we would be absent original antigentic sin.

Why wasn’t this something that the official experts were talking about long ago?

Probably for the same reason they downplayed the drop in vaccine efficacy from Delta: they didn’t want to increase vaccine hesitancy.
We weren’t the official experts talking about airborne transmission long ago?
