Covid sufferers who caught the Omicron variant will not be protected from catching it again, according to scientists at Imperial College London.
The investigators say Omicron and its evolutions could explain why Covid cases remain higher than predicted in the UK.
Earlier studies found that past illnesses with Covid provided some immunity against re-infection - but the latest research indicates that is not the case with the Omicron variant, The Telegraph reports.
Prof Danny Altmann from the Imperial College's Department of Immunology and Inflammation, said: 'The message is a little bleak. Omicron and its variants are great at breakthroughs but bad at inducing immunity, thus we get reinfections ad nauseum and a badly depleted workforce.
'Not only can it break through vaccine defences, it looks to leave very few of the hallmarks we'd expect on the immune system.
'It's more stealthy than previous variants and flies under the radar, so the immune system is unable to remember it.'
Researchers have been attempting to understand why people become reinfected with omicron, often soon after recovering from a previous spell of the disease.
Blood samples were collected from UK healthcare workers who were triple-vaccinated and with different infection patterns with Covid in order to understand antibody, T and B cell immunity.
The research uncovered that among those who were triple-vaccinated with no past infection, Omicron provided an immunity boost against earlier variants such as alpha, beta, gamma and the original ancestral strain - but practically none against Omicron itself.

Read the first three paragraphs.
Don’t take the experimental treatments, survive to tell others. That works for me and mine. 3 adults, one 96, two in their 60’s with cancer, undergoing treatments... zero deaths.
Us the protocols of vitamins, minerals, supplements including Ivermectin and budesonide.
The $hots lower one’s immunity....and, cause variants to keep on keeping on.
Their excuses are growing SO old.
Old as FRAUDci.

From the pre-print
“anti-nucleocapsid antibody seroconversion at the time of study unblinding (median 53 days post diagnosis and 149 days post enrollment) occurred in 40% of the mRNA-1273 vaccine recipients vs. 93% of the placebo recipients, a significant difference.”
The Jab inhibits the immune systems ability to produce N protein antibodies (anti-nucleocapsid) as its only targeted at the spike protein( S-protein) which is highly mutable.
...it covers *BOTH*.
These people are obsessed about this flu.
You mean the rise in US Covid cases has nothing to do with the Biden administration seeding the country with illegal aliens coming over the border without any oversight and sent all over the country.
What is the title of the article?
It’s the flu now morons. Put away your masks and your hypochondria.
You need to get educated in statistics.
600 miilion jabs given to Americans so far.
You have any links showing percentage of adverse effects from 600 million jabs?
I want all you anti-vaxxers to SKIP the jabs. We can send your doses to poor countries around the world who are desperate but can’t afford the jabs.
Last point, covid vaccines are no more effective than Flu vaccines. Just like flu vaccines, the continuously morphing virus makes previous jabs ineffective. From my personal experience 16 months after first jab and 3 more jabs since then, the vaccine is a big nothing burger in giving me adverse side effects. Not even sure if it created any anti-bodies. But since they are such nothing Burgers for side effects and free of cost, I plan on getting boosters every time I am eligible for a free jab.
We DO have proof of adverse events known to Pfizer and Moderna and the government during abbreviated trials.
Bad enough to have shut down any real vaccine, which these are not.
(What other vaccine requires six-month boosters for life?)
(And for a disease with a > 99% survival rate, for which other prescription and/or OTC treatments are effective, and for which the overwhelming number of dead had four or more comorbidities.)
We don’t know how long the jabs induce your body to continue making spike proteins.
We don’t know the concentration of active ingredients (it varies between large lots of batches, and between various manufacturers).
We don’t know the long-term morbidity and mortality associated with the jabs.
We don’t know how many got saline solution, or fake jabs.
Sod off, Swampy.
I implored you to skip the jabs.
Then there is no reason to bitch and moan about the experimental mRNA based vaccine.
That’s the same advice I give to all anti-vaxxers.
The vaccines have questionable benefits. I take the jabs because there are zero adverse effects and they are free.
May be 50-50 chance they might be helpful.
And you’re wrong. They are demonstrably more harmful than any real vaccine ever given.
So? Don’t take the jabs and then you have no reason to keep whining. Feel lucky you don’t live in China. There you will be locked up behind bars for refusing the jabs.
Sincce 16 months after 1st Jab, and 3 more jabs since then, octogenaranian me had ZERO ADVERSE EFFECTS and the nothing burger vaccines allowed me to enjoy 5 cruises, while you were relegated to whine on FR.
Sod off, troll.
Yeah I understand. Facts do not digest well in your system.
You’re projecting again.
Time will tell but this seems to be the end game for COVID-19. Omicron variant is basically like another cold. It’ll continue to mutate so it’ll be more contagious but less deadly. We shouldn’t see variants like Delta because the lethality rate was rather high. The virus wants to spread rather than hit a dead end so we’ll see.
Or cold
