“We should know about the ability of the current vaccine to provide protection in the next couple of weeks,” Burton said on Sunday on the BBC’s “Andrew Marr Show”. “The remarkable thing about the mRNA vaccines, the Moderna platform, is that we can move very fast,” he said. Protection should still exist, depending on how long ago a person was vaccinated, and for now the best advice is to take one of the current Covid-19 vaccines, Burton said.

SA 'punished' for detecting Omicron COVID variant: DircoThe decision by a number of countries to ban flights from southern Africa following the discovery of the variant 'is akin to punishing South Africa,' the foreign affairs ministry said in a statement. You think you are special that's the problem, what great science that SA has are they talking about, because SA is in the bottom half Worldwide I'm sure in Scientific studies, Western and even most Eastern countries have far better scientists than us. Serves them right This going to get ugly. Unemployment is already sky-high in this country, now the hospitality industry is going to lose another high season. It is one of the biggest employers in SA. We could be looking at civil unrest. Hopefully, they target Luthuli House This is BS!! China must start paying for the damage they caused to our economy!!
