COVID-19 reinfections among people who’ve already battled the virus appear to be more likely with the Omicron variant than other strains, South African scientists warned Friday.
A surge in coronavirus reinfections occurred in the country as the new “variant of concern” emerged, according to the National Institute for Communicable Diseases, which tracks reinfections.
By contrast, there was no reinfection spike upon the arrival of other variants such as the highly contagious Delta strain, the scientists told the World Health Organization on Thursday.
“Previous infection used to protect against Delta, and now with Omicron, it doesn’t seem to be the case,” one of the researchers, Anne von Gottberg of the University of Witwatersrand, said at a WHO briefing.

Apparently a very mild one, at that.

Whups, just when the deep state needed to fend off criticism about demanding the “vaxxed” get “boosters,” even if they have natural immunity. What a coincidence!
Being vaxxed doesn’t seem to help either
Interesting that the who claims the new variant hits those that have not been as likely to get the vax. Namely those with previous infection and under 5 years old. Almost like they planed it. Still not getting the shot.
Going after the natural immunity crowd narrative now, huh?
They can stick their poison Mengele jabs and boosters up their Royal rectums.
Everything, EVERYTHING, they say is BS. Live your life accordingly.
so much for the “war” on cancer, parkinsons, althzheimers, etc.
now the “scientists” are wasting our money on cataloging and “treating” man-modified cold viri released from ccp bio-weapons labs funded by faschi with our money.
Today I got the flu shot in my right shoulder and after ten minutes I got the Pfizer booster shot in the left shoulder.
Fauxcy is NOT a Scientist.
At this point I find it astonishing that anyone continues to listen to ‘experts’ and government claims.
Just when the data is showing the jab loses effectiveness after a short while, governments INCREASINGLY talk about jab MANDATES...where large portions of the population AGREE with them.
Insane.
Where are the headlines blaring hospitalization and death numbers? As usual the story is more about what’s unsaid than said.
Because Science.
The terrifying thing is that if you’ve had a cold in the past, you can still catch another one! We’re all doomed!
I've had up to 4 colds in a season before I started taking high milligram vitamins. Haven't had more than 1 sniffles for some years, and that could have been allergy.
This certainly scared me into getting the jab. (sarc)
The rhinitis variant.
