Two thirds of the 25 staff based at Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth Polar Station have caught the virus, the Le Soir newspaper reported, proving there is no escape from the global pandemic.
The outbreak took hold despite all staff passing multiple PCR tests, quarantining and living in one of the most remote places in the world.
The situation has echoes of the plot of John Carpenter’s 1982 horror classic The Thing, which was advertised on posters with the warning “man is the warmest place to hide.”
An alien life form infects workers on an Antarctic station in the cult sci-fi thriller starring Kurt Russell. Unlike the film, none of the infected Belgians have exhibited any severe symptoms – let alone been transformed into bloodthirsty beasts that can only be killed by incineration. All 25 researchers were fully vaccinated and one had a booster shot. Before leaving for the station, they had PCR tests in Belgium two hours before flying to South Africa.

Great movie though.
Oh no… the sniffles!! The nagging cough!! … they’re all TIRED!!!!
NOT the …SORE THROAT too!!!
Oh, the HORROR!!!
they will blame this on the others not being “boosted”.
The last two years have been a tragic farce.
Looks like COVID-19 has decided to take matters into its own hands and get the long-promised herd immunity reached.
Goodness. Comparing the sniffles to a murderous alien. Sheesh...
“Journalism” now is so infantile.
The original was great!
Well, they should have gotten their 20th booster shot.
***********
Not if they all caught a cold while positive tested.
You are guilty of eminent sagacity....
Well. Yes. They both are. Very uncommon in moviedom.
The original is just as creepy as ever. Try watching it again.
James Arness starred as the ASPARAGUS.

This is as close to a sealed environment as one could find for an experiment. Yet with everyone vaxxed to the max and boosted there is still an outbreak of covid. Hell of a vaccine.

So, this is all about those selfish, irresponsible triple-vaxxed people putting the health of the heroic triple-vaxxed-AND-boosted people at risk
the Winter of “Severe Illness and Death” continues!!
Will the drug companies give refunds?
I prefer the original movie from 50’s. First sci-fi horror movie I saw.
The crazy people were right and the experts were wrong again.
Karma, baby.
Be a shame if they all had massive heart attacks and died.
