An inactivated vaccine should create antibodies over a whole genome rather than a small subset. There's an argument to suggest that the spike gene would not be well conserved (contrary to what was first suggested).
Yes, It would produce the same antibodies as natural infection, Which is the point I was making :) Omicron is proven ( granted we still need a lot more info ) to be have some evasion over previous natural infection which would mean it would have the same evasion over any inactivated virus vaccine.
