Omicron is vaccine resistant!

A new study out of Columbia University says the Omicron variant is “markedly resistant” to vaccines and boosters might not do much to help, spelling bad news for the country as Omicron spreads and COVID-19 cases rise nationally.
“A striking feature of this variant is the large number of spike mutations that pose a threat to the efficacy of current COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapies,” according to the study authored by more than 20 scientists at Columbia and the University of Hong Kong.
The Omicron variant was first detected in South Africa in November and is widely believed to soon become the dominant strain in the US, eclipsing the Delta variant.
The scientists express concern in the study published Wednesday that the variant’s “extensive” mutations can “greatly compromise” the vaccine, even neutralizing it. The report said the booster shots prevent some of the neutralization, but the variant “may still pose a risk” for those with their third shot.
“Even a third booster shot may not adequately protect against Omicron infection,” the study said, adding it’s still smart to get a booster.

It is also more contagious and less virulent. Just let that bitch roll and be done with it.

Lets not forget how this shite started.
I don't know how to make gifs but we need a Fauci is a-hole as well for starting this up at The University of North Carolina.

It's always cases they are tracking now. In the beginning it was deaths.
This shite came through our town two weeks ago. It's the sniffles, just like we've all had many times before.

Now my most hated school. Hope they lose every game and get defunded.

yeps, CCP is ashhole. Never forget. This whole thing came from China, and with the aid/blessing of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

I think Omicron is Greek for the Common Cold.

Why would you want to stop this variant? This is the one you want to just run through the population. Highly transmissible and minimal symptoms. Of course they don't want this to end ,because these frickers want more power.

It’s basically the same effect as the freaking booster. I’d rather get Omicron than the booster, frankly
Posted on 12/17/21 at 7:38 am to Seldom Seen
So there's no preventative for it, like the common cold?

The virus has finally mutated to actually become a vaccine.
It now works better than all other vaccines in conferring immunity and minimizing adverse events to include death.
Time to outlaw it so we can increase our Pfizer and Moderna vaccination profits errr….rates.

Been saying this for weeks. Omicron is the best COVID news yet, but it's being treated like the plague.
Powers that be should be relieved, except they know it will spell the end of their money laundering scheme with big pharma if they tell the truth.

Not until they have total control

The more new variants come out the less deadly they will be. If you can go without catching this shite in the beginning and get the 20th variant down the line what is the reasoning of being forced to get the jab?

But LDH and Peppermint Paddy said the vaccine was holding up well to omicron.
Which is it?
