The Omicron variant has been detected in at least 19 states in the U.S., and is striking mainly fully vaccinated people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Forty-three people in 19 states have tested positive for omicron, according to remarks made to the Associated Press by Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 75 percent of those cases are in people who are fully vaccinated, and one person has been hospitalized. One-third of those individuals had traveled internationally; one-third had received a booster. The cases so far have been “mild,” she said.
Preliminary data from South Africa meanwhile show that people who have previously had COVID-19 have more protection against the Omicron variant than those who have been vaccinated, the UK Telegraph reported.
The new study is the first to show how omicron compares to previous variants, such as beta and delta, on a level playing field and the preliminary data shows antibodies in blood samples are 41 times less effective for omicron than for the 2020 strain.
“The results we present here with omicron show much more extensive escape,” the researchers of the new study said.
Although the new variant appears to be milder, it is reportedly more infectious than previous variants.
So, why would anybody be willing to take that awful jab? Your changes of being healthy are way greater if you DO NOT take it! So, don’t!!
It’s about time they started telling the Truth !!!! Some of us already knew that but you have so many idiots out there that can’t think for themselves anymore and refuse to look at the real facts.
