He added, “What we do know — and this comes from many different studies — is that even over time the protection of the vaccines against variants has remained pretty good, above 90%”.
Yup!

Cyril Ramaphosa slams travel bans against SA over Omicron Covid-19 variantUnjustified, discriminatory and not backed by science - that is how President Cyril Ramaphosa responded to travel bans against southern African countries following the emergence of the Omicron variant. Mxm he's doing nothing about it I can safely say the same about the mandatory vaccines he's pushing Typical sAfrican reaction...yawwwn 61 passengers of 600 who flew from SA to Amsterdam on 2 flights, tested positive in Amsterdam. SA screening is very poor. THAT's WHY COUNTRIES ARE BANNING FLIIGHTS FROM SA. Zero lock down restrictions in SA -- MUTATIONS -- new variant.
