Prior infection little defence against Omicron mutation, South Africa study says

Knowing that Omicron may lead to more reinfection is important, Pulliam wrote on Twitter. Acquired immunity from previous infection has been key in helping countries such as South Africa and Botswana, which have relatively low vaccination rates, manage the pandemic.

The WHO has urged countries to boost healthcare capacity and vaccinate their people to fight a surge in COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant, saying travel curbs could buy time but alone were not the answer. Other variants have been known to cause reinfection: Several patients reinfected with the beta variant were identified in Israel earlier this year. But the latest study suggests the relative risk of getting infected again remained stable in other variants, underscoring the significance of the findings on Omicron.

We are in the COVID-19 pandemic, exactly an unrestricted biological warfare waged by the evil CCP! If we want to go back to normal, Just wake up, ask the antidote from the CCP, and eradicate the evil CCP from the earth completely!

That's a great headline if your intent is to terrify people into getting vaccinated. 🙄

at least you've abandoned all journalism good to see *not sure why you're even open anymore

Yup ok get it. Big pharma needs more money… no immunity from original recipe covid only from 3 jabs..got it. $$$$$$$$$$$ pfizer AstraZeneca moderna_tx

Probably should have immunized SA a lot sooner then eh? But no, the Post criticized the PM for increasing foreign aid spending and lauded vaccine companies while they charged developing nations sometimes 4x the cost of the vaccines.
