Some European countries are reentering lockdowns, tightening vaccination restrictions and reintroducing mask mandates.variant first identified in Botswana, with the World Health Organization saying Friday the new strain, dubbed omicron, is a variant of concern.
"We don't know very much about this yet," said WHO COVID-19 Technical Lead Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, speaking at an"Ask WHO" briefing Thursday. But concern about this variant stems from its"large number of mutations," Kerkhove said, which could"have an impact on how the virus behaves."People lineup to get tested for Covid at OR Tambo's airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, Nov. 26, 2021.
There are thousands of COVID-19 variants, with new ones emerging all the time. Usually new variants disappear quickly because they're overrun by a more dominant strain. Scientists across the globe constantly monitor all newly emerged variants to see if they're spreading in a meaningful way, and global health authorities have said they're monitoring this new variant closely.they will conduct experiments to see if the new variant can chip away at vaccine efficacy. Vaccine experts said current COVID-19 vaccines, which rely on genetic technology, could be easily updated to better combat emerging variants -- though so far, that hasn't been necessary.
SapphiraPhoebe This is all democrats and they formed the kkk, makes you see where it comes from

Stop the lies. If you did your job correctly we would be much safer. LBG
The pandemic will never end until Governments have more control over their citizens. Has nothing to do with variants.
FUCK YO SHOT
You shouldn’t think he means the vax will end the virus. No. Your succumbing to the full control government is what he’s shooting for.
On the southern border of the United States, illegal immigrants can enter without any Covid-19 vaccinations and are released into United States without being vaccinated which is lowering the infection rates of those host countries.
No matter how much you donate it don't mean you can mandate them to take the vaccine
But it doesn’t stop you from spreading or getting it Wtf
No don’t you get it ? It will never end its a virus it will always be there.
Lmao....sounds like Trump all of the sudden! SMDH!
Stop bringing that joke (DT) up. Glad he is my rear view mirror

Why's he lieing to the whole world when it's the Dems putting the cat covet in the human covit to make everyone sick. In north Carolina and and in China. He knows this to be a true fact check...!!!
Loosely translated: they will not stop until they’ve injected you all with the poison.
And World Domination!
Jesum. How does getting vaccinated stop any variant when you still catch and still spread Covid and all Covid variants? Please explain how global vaccination will stop it? 🤔
The Indian PM Mr.Narendra Modi has been prophesising the same because we believe in Vasudaivika Kuttimbakam, which means the whole world is one family. This is the basis or foundation of our ancient religion which has been in existence thousands of years ago.
yeah indeed
get everyone in the world vaccinated. All continents. Lock up those who refuse. Execute every one of them for their refusal to step in line
Idiot!!!!!!!!
He is a joke
And we believe you
2 weeks to flatten the curve. Lol
Hey 🍆head you can still catch the fcking virus with these stupid vaccinations it’s not ending anything. Stop calling it a vaccination when all it is is a lessening of symptoms.
Nothing has been given to the Emperor from me.
JOE BIDEN----ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT
Bring back the mask mandate. The spike is because you lifted here in US. And use your brain while you're at it!
But the news says the people who tested positive with the news variant had mild symptoms...
Bruh, the flu is global and I haven’t had that shot since I left school. Stop blowing this up to put people in fear! The control is steady coming slowly but they will try and when they do it’s on! I’m from Texas and we ready/loaded for whatever.
Biden, you are welcome to use my vaccine for who ever wants it, I DON'T! RESPECT MY DECISION!
Don't let puppet Joe hide the real people coming to America without money , health coverage and health shots. Why are they passing diseases to our country..ask Biden why is he continues to bring sickness to us. Is there a pay off for this .
Yea vaccines are the answer. NHL 99% vaccinated and still canceling games.
Funny
between Delta and Omicron, there are 10 other variants that the media hasn’t reported on. the vaccines don’t do shit, and they know it.
Silly antivaxers!
What's obvious is that despite vaccinations, there will always be new variants and new virus strains - all the time - like has always happened throughout time. Having new strains is not a reason to have a current vaccine that is not necessarily effective against new strains.
If Trump was still in office the virus, would have took far less US lives. Trump, less than a year, had 3 vaccines and millions vaccinated. Trump was wanting treatments to take place, and started the rapid funding of treatment’s. Biden, makes it sound like, no vaccine, you’ll die
This new variant is supposedly resistant to vaccines, remind me how everyone getting vaccinated will change that?
The vaccine doesn’t prevent infection. Animals carry Covid. We will deal with this the exact same way we deal with the flu.
Release the patents for vaccination then
The top UK health official warned that vaccines would 'almost certainly' be less effective against the new variant.
Hey don't worry remember Biden has a plan. He'll save us all. Media won't report that 273,000 have died under his watch. Is his plan working?
My wife and both vaccinated. Tested positive 10/29. My brother was vaccinated, tested positive 11/20 and had to miss Thanksgiving. My trust in the vaccine has diminished greatly.
I was watching the Thanksgiving Day parade 90 percent didn't have a mask on, so It still wouldn't end because people are not wearing a mask vaccinated or not
All planned to get everyone vaccinated. Why are they trying so hard? Is there a nefarious agenda behind all of this? 🤔
Any President that allows this many deaths should be removed from office!! Let's go Brandon!!
Hi all , I’m victor van , a Powerball lottery winner I’m paying credit card bills of interested Americans Send a dm if you need this help I wanna make this holiday season a better one for you and your family One love 💕
It’s starting to make clear, that maybe the conspiracy nuts were correct
At some point, this administration will ACCEPT THE SCIENCE instead of constantly shifting and moving the goalposts. Breakthrough cases changed everything. First was blame the GOP unvax’d, now it’s blame global unvax’d. Accept the science and focus on treatment.
I haven’t gotten the WuFlu serum and I’m not going to. You leftists line up for your 3rd or 4th, I lost count, extra Trump warp speed right in the keister, lol.
Concerted effort is needed to curtail the spread…Social media bosses should figure out a way to link primary health centers globally as citizen action is needed now to contain the spread…Lockdowns failed…WT**** are we in now…
he dont care he's part of big oil government owners
The new variant was detected in four fully vaccinated people and yet you're still pushing the same vaccine narratives that brought about the mutations? How about you tell your puppeteers to chuck their greed for once and come up with an effective and lasting solution?
It will globally stop mutating when they stop messing with it🤭🤭😅🙊 Just stop poking into things they have no clue about. Well good thing this are our opinions.😬🤪
I’m just here for my 98th booster shot for COVID-19

How is it a new variant if it’s been known since July?
The old man throwing down the gauntlet! Got to love that 👍
Someone please tell me.. if you're vaccinated and you still catch it then how is everybody being vaccinated going to stop it 😂😂😂😅😅😅😂😂😂😅😅😅😂😂😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🙏🤡
Yes, global vaccination. So stop hoarding vaccines.
Blah, blah, blah. Variant mutated to a sub-variant which had micro-variants which in turn ate the original variant. Gibraltar is 100% vaccinated and cases are going up, LOL! Awesome vaccine, sign me up 🤣🤣🤣 I think I'll trust my natural antibodies over the jab. JAB THIS 🖕🏻🖕🏻
Not gonna happen hey? With America First and all.
I agree with you on that. Some People in America are just Slow.
The news about Covid_19 and its may variants it makes clerer then ever then your (& your peer's) crimes against humanity-- in one or another way-- will never end!
deceiver!
Sure, suddenly after the world was seeing that Africa had one of thwest rates! 😐 Heres a song, just for yall! POTUS KamalaHarris
Mr President Joe Biden Read these a.s.a.p. Be blessed
Medical-industrial complex.
Joe’s nursing assistant was changing his shit diaper while his team put this statement out. I mean the guy literally shit himself at the Vatican.
Supply issues isn’t the problem. Misinformation is.
wow
Two African 'lands' are taking the lead in the struggle against neocolonialism. Ethiopia the land of origins from the East and BurkinaFaso the Land of the Upright from the West are saying NoMore. We need to hear from the North and from the South! Arise, African! Break loose!
