ER Doctor: Omicron May Provide Natural Immunity With Mild Symptoms

https://www.theepochtimes.com/er-doctor-omicron-may-provide-natural-immunity-with-mild-symptoms_4139482.html
Dr. Omar Hamada on Dec. 1 said that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 may provide natural immunity without inducing severe illness, as the symptoms so far resemble more of a “mild, common cold” in South Africa.

In an interview with NTD’s “Capitol Report,” the emergency room doctor and former U.S. Army Special Forces lieutenant colonel said that even though “we’re seeing an uptick in [the] number of people affected, the severity of disease seems to be, at this point, minimal.”

Omicron......It’s a cold!!!!

The Omicron variant may have fragments of another virus, possibly the one that causes common cold in humans, researchers said.

Omicron variant may have picked up a piece of common-cold virus: experts

Researchers from Nference, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based data analytics firm, found a piece of genetic code in Omicron that is present in the virus that can bring about a cold, according to a pre-print study shared Thursday.

By mutating to include this piece into itself, Omicron might be making itself look more accustomed to being found in humans, helping it evade attack by the immune system, said Venky Soundararajan, a biological engineer who co-wrote the study.
