The Omicron variant of coronavirus is 2.4x more likely to reinfect people than the original stain, a study from South Africa suggests.
The research, which has not been peer-reviewed, found people who had tested positive for Covid could pick up the virus again.
It did not say how the variant will behave when spreading in a highly vaccinated population such as the UK, or whether the virus can evade the protection offered by vaccines against severe disease....
..."We believe that vaccines will still, however, protect against severe disease because we've seen this decrease in protection using vaccines with the other variants - the vaccines have always held out to prevent severe disease and admission into hospital from death.
"The same things that held true for the other variants, I think, to a large extent hold true for this variant."

2.4 times. My, my. So how many people have dieds so far? 0. Thank you. No one cares.

Who cares? 🤷🏻♀️
In the early days of smallpox which was extremely fatal at the time, dairy workers who were called milk maids were largely immune. This was because they had been exposed and probably infected by a strain ot cow pox. Cow pax was somewhat related to smallpox, you might say it was a variant that was more contagious but not as deadly. This led to the discovery of inoculation where a person would be deliberately infected with an antigen in order to gain immunity.
It's at least 2.4%, ok? Not at least 2.5, not at least 2.3. At least exactly 2.4±0.0%, understand?

Show me the data.
You are a fool for buying a pig in a poke. Dig in. You were stupid for taking the vax. You are stupid for buying this disinformation. Gauteng. 79 admissions. 80 something yesterday. Pop in greater Gauteng is about 15 million. Gauteng is the epicenter.
A gazillion x more ghastly and terrifying!
Yeah, okie dokie, I am sure. Yeppers.
May the fear porn continue......
So the "re-infected" may be, as has been indicated but other data, to be effecting the vaccinated. And the much touted "South African study" another example of Lying Media fear porn.
