Past COVID infection less likely to fend off Omicron, scientists warn

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.

The terminator vaccines don’t fend off anything.

I am so sick and tired of COVID. When will the majority of this world wise up to what their government is doing to them. This is so insane!!!! I can’t believe the world population is so dumb!!!! (Yes I am totally frustrated today!!!) Maybe God has a reason for all of this insanity in the world right now and maybe we shall see why he has been letting this happen.

Past colds don’t fend off future colds. Check. Everyone knows that.

Coronaviruses are colds. There is no “cure” for this newest chest cold, nor is there a vaccine that will 100% block infection. At best it might prevent it from becoming full blown SARS in people with comorbidities like being fat or old. There is no life without at least some risk. Deal with it.

One way or the other we’re going to have to get used to it. It’s not going away no matter what the politicians and grifters say or do.

National “scientists” have exhausted their trust capital. The people are forming their own conclusions based on anecdotal evidence now. Congratulations socialists, you’ve destroyed the very institutions you previously bandied about as authoritative.

I’m in the same boat. I live in the free state of Florida, and I’m constantly wanting to yell at mask wearers and Biden/Harris sticker toting Prius drivers. Follow the science indeed.

“””COVID-19 reinfections among people who’ve already battled the virus appear to be more likely with the Omicron variant than other strains”””


I am waiting for the next headline from FauciMedia that says something like:

“”Latest Covid Variant Developed by Wuhan Lab is Resistant to HCQ and Ivermectin””””

And how likely are you to OmicronXI if you’ve not previously had the CCP virus but you’ve been vaxed?

I’ll take my chances with the cold.
Fauxi, and his merry band of insane Mengles, can take their Clot Shot and shove it good and hard straight up their “scientific” arses.....sideways.

“Mullers Ratchet”. Very interesting. I have come up with “Handydandy’s Ratchet Theory”. A lot of people used to compare the political swinging pendulum of left then right then left then right, and on and on. I don’t see that as a pendulum anymore. It is more like a ratchet. A ratchet set to tighten, so that every swing to the left tightens the nut, and every swing to the right it merely freewheels. The end result is a steady tightening of the nut.

Sounds like you flu right into the booster.

Hope things go well.

I’m giving it some serious thought if I want to vaccinate
further.

A small heads up. The talk of mild symptoms is from the sample in South Africa. One of the youngest populations on the planet. All their cases are university student age, people who have not been at significant risk from day 1.

There is a 68 yr old woman infected in NY. She went symptomatic Wednesday. No update on worsening.

Actually, I was on schedule to be boosted and got boosted.
I have a small sore spot from each shot, when I rub there.
Be sure to consult with your doctor and stay well.
