Have a look at the recent case rate charts, USA, FR, etc and check the massive spread of covid despite high vaccination rates and ongoing booster shot programs. During clinical studies, both pfizer and moderna claimed VE (vaccine efficacy) in the 90% range, but in real world settings, (UK-HSA, detailed variant surveillance analyses) pfizer 2 dose vaccine effectiveness waned to 0% after 20 weeks, pfizer booster waned to 40% after 10 weeks, moderna held at about 70% 5-9 weeks after a booster. AstraZeneca (2 doses) recorded negative levels of protection after 20 weeks. (Technical briefing-booster Ve) The vaccines were designed for the original strain, despite that they are still doing a great job at stopping serious illness and death which is important. All credit to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no doubt what-so-ever....most likely EVERYONE is gonna get infected with omicron, irregardless of vaccine status, thing is 98% will survive an infection that to this point is no worse than the common cold. So, until a vaccine can actually prevent the spread and protect against infection, you'll get to enjoy a case of the "common omicron" cold. But, if you are referring to natural immunity, there is more evidence now of the benefits of NI.

Danderman123 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Research indicates that people with a certain gene containing Neanderthal DNA are more susceptible to Covid infections. This includes Asians and Europeans, but not most Africans. Therefore, the data from South Africa may not be useful in predicting the impact of Omicron outside of Africa.
