Novavax added it has already started creating a COVID-19 vaccine based on the known genetic sequence of B.1.1.529 'and will have it ready to begin testing and manufacturing within the next few weeks'.

Vaccine manufacturers have expressed confidence that they will be able to rapidly adapt their jabs if the Omicron variant spreads.- features some"concerning" mutations, and early evidence suggests it brings an increased risk of reinfection.

There are also fears that the variant could be more resistant to the vaccines that have now been rolled out to billions of people around the world.Omicron's spike protein with new mutations seen in red, blue, gold and black.

Moderna said it has advanced a"comprehensive strategy to anticipate new variants of concern" since early 2021 - including three levels of response if the immunity offered by its jabs wanes.vaccine based on the known genetic sequence of B.1.1.529"and will have it ready to begin testing and manufacturing within the next few weeks".

Yesterday, the World Health Organisation designated B.1.1.529 as a"variant of concern", meaning it has now officially been given the name Omicron, a letter from the Greek alphabet.

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would be wondering where all these new variants actually originate.....

Next will come forced jabs every 3 months or no job, no money and definitely no freedom, they have it all planned out

Aye dead on, Omicron new jab. Moronic vaccine. Give it a rest

marinavanzyl This is now being exposed as some shady business where big pharma will rake in trillions by making us to be depended on these vaccines.

New! Pfizer Drive-Thrus. « I’ll have 3 Nu vax, 2 Covid vax, a large Covid booster, 1 standard flu shot and a side of pfries.” 💀

Don’t want to miss the chance of making a few billion dollars

Haha, yeah ok. The old ones don't even work 🤣🤣

Balanced for a change...

😂😂😂😂😂😂

3.5 months is a long time.

Get stuffed, you can keep them.

I can't put up with this anymore. The more l read, the less l know!

Incredible really. Nothing for cancer. Taken years and years to get near something for HIV. Still nothing for dementia. However we have something for a flu like virus costing hundreds of billions at the click of finger. Tell me there isn’t an agenda.

The response to this variant reveals that the world leaders have no idea what they are doing. Leaders that have no confidence in the vaccine. To transition from pandemic to endemic there is no need to lock down, remove countries from traveling. Life resumes with normality.

Which no one will have

McPfizer happy meal

Here we go against.if we carry on like this it will never end and we will have boosters every month .

Seriously?! I’ve had 3 since Jan! I’m not having any more flipping jabs! Jog on….

Well I've had my 2 jabs and a booster on top of that the booster jab knocked me for six for days I certainly for one won't be getting anymore jabs

So it's taken 2 days to make a vaccine for this new variant and it just so happens to be ready in 100 days just in time for what would be your 4th jab.

And only for £125 a dose lol

Pfizer can do one no more pricks in my arm

Did they say they were going to start to make a profit from the next batch.

It's become the next military/industrial complex- create a perpetual war for a constant gravy train of profit

But 100 days from when. Next week, next month, next year.

They need to make it faster. 100 days is a pretty long time. Tens of Thousands can die in this period.

Rubbish, if it was that easy, they'd have updated it to work better with Delta long before now.

Yes, more money for Pfizer Omicron

We need to get developing countries vaccinated as quickly as possible otherwise we will keep going round in circles with this. Gordon Brown among others saw this coming.

Well there’s a surprise….🙄

Phew, that didn't take long.

This variant will kill 1 billion people because the poor countries can't buy them.

Bloody convenient 🙄

BS

Omicron is THE MOST DEADLIEST STRAIN WE HAVE EVER ECOUNT.... We'll have a vaccine in 100 days

So everyone who is double vaxxed amd had boosters will need to get more boosters. And then boost the boosters until another variant comes about and then get new boosters and then boost those boosters and so on. Can't wait.💰

Hay . Please read.

The current strain can already bypass current vaccines. So this is just bizarre logic. A 10yr old could see through this scam.

Really? Well I haven’t been vaccinated and surely wont be now.....

So don’t push the booster yet.

Wow remarkable development, only if cancer treatment was so quick

More money for riches!

Conspiracy theories coming true again 🥴

It's not resistant.

Start now Pfizer.
