Speaking at a World Health Organization (WHO) briefing on Thursday, Professor Anne von Gottberg, a microbiologist at South Africa’s National Institute for Communicable Diseases, said: “Previous infection used to protect against delta [currently the dominant coronavirus variant globally], but now with omicron that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
My wife didn’t need to go to hospital but nevertheless she developed long covid. The risk/benefit ratio is so heavily balanced toward vaccination it seems crazy not to get the protection.
We’re all wasting our time because Helen doesn’t believe in vaccines full stop, we could produce a thousand studies showing their benefits and it would make no difference, the lady’s not for turning.
Omicron is more dominant than Delta which is more dominant than Alpha so if you caught the previous ones you can catch the latter ones. If you are metabolically ill or immune poor, you could suffer with a cold, another original corona virus.
Omicron doesnt seem as harmful as predecessors so whats the issue unless you are immune compromised?
If you have had shots not really much to worry about if not you’ll possibly end up in hospital, maybe on a ventilator.
Gaining immune cells, T cells, memory B cells etc from the more dominant version would give protection from earlier variants.
Not a foregone conclusion surely…??? My covid unvaccinated daughter with her 4th baby is doing perfectly fine despite all the pressure throughout pregnancy…::(she is rh negative so don’t if that makes any difference)
There does seem to be a knowledge gap after June 2021
