Booster is USELESS against OMICRON

JOHANNESBURG: A small study of seven COVID-19 cases in South Africa shows the Omicron variant can break through booster vaccine shots, one of the scientists involved said on Thursday (Dec 16).
A group of seven German visitors to Cape Town, aged between 25 and 39, were infected at some point in late November or early December with confirmed cases of the Omicron coronavirus variant. A copy of the study seen by Reuters said they all suffered only mild to moderate symptoms and none required hospitalisation.
Of the group, six were fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, of whom five had also had a booster Pfizer shot while the sixth had received a booster dose of the Moderna vaccine.
A seventh had received an initial dose of AstraZeneca's vaccine, followed by a second and then third booster dose of Pfizer. None had reported past infection with COVID-19.
The infections occurred between one and two months after receipt of the booster shot.
Wolfgang Preiser, a virologist at Stellenbosch University and one of the study's co-authors, told Reuters the study was currently under peer review. He said the study showed infection was possible and caused symptomatic disease even after boosted immunisation.
A much bigger real world study of 581 people in Britain showed booster vaccines significantly restore protection against mild disease caused by the Omicron variant, in part reversing an otherwise steep drop in vaccine effectiveness, the UK Health Security Agency said last week.
Scientists suspect that Omicron is more transmissible, given its rapid spread, but say it is too early for definitive conclusions on the severity of the disease it causes.
Medical professionals say vaccination is still an essential tool in the fight against the pandemic.
"It still protects against severe disease and death: we are quite sure about that," Preiser said.
However, he added, "the picture emerging is that this virus is very capable of undermining the immune response ... (so) it's clear that we will need an updated vaccine".

Only stupid people believe booster is useful. If vaccinated so many times and every time new variant come, we need to jab again? And all these vaccines are not thoroughly tested and bundled with side effects which will impair us forever. We Singaporeans are just lab rats to these PAPs. We need to vote them out before they kill us all.

The best course of action is to simply allow nature to take its course. Interfering with the natural spread of a fast mutating virus only delays the inevitable.

the vaccine developed for yesteryear covid-19 can be used this year delta and omicron variants

This is why Americans have the second amendment. When the ballot box fails, the bullet box becomes the backup solution.

Vaccinated population is the way to go open VTL or open up foreigners coming in. Boost our economy and government happy collecting monies.

Who really cares vaccine effectiveness???

You are absolutely spot on.

If the vaccine is ineffective, just impose more restrictions on the unvaccinated. This solution has proven to be extremely effective in pacifying the vaccinated over the ineffective vaccine.

Sounds like wonderful news!

tiagong,i really tiagong.the best booster shot is sinovac

Eventually, the ineffectiveness of the vaccines will be the least of their (vaccinated) worries.

This is the best protection. Aka God's protection.

Sooner or later, either the virus or the vaccine is going to kill us. Or if we are very lucky, old age.

don't rush to get the vaccine booster. don't believe the pap govt covid propaganda.

 

[myfoot123]

More vaccination in Singapore population easily translated to more imported cases of virus in every foreseeable form. Singapore will never get out of pandemic when PAP can't wait to keep polluting this country with hundreds and thousands of imported cases every month. You can't keep your shirt white all the time if you kept playing with foreign black ink and then start telling Singaporeans to keep washing our cloth and live with every splash of the new ink all the time.

 

[laksaboy]

don't rush to get the vaccine booster. don't believe the pap govt covid propaganda.

The propaganda to get the kids vaccinated now is truly amazing.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

If the South African variant is like the flu. Why bother to vaccinate against a flu when the vaccine is not safe

$$$ and depopulation goals. Nuremberg 2.0 can't happen quickly enough.

“Blanket booster programmes are likely to prolong the pandemic, rather than ending it, by diverting supply to countries that already have high levels of vaccination coverage, giving the virus more opportunity to spread and mutate,”
https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/12/1108622

Despite WHO's statement above on 22 December 2021, the PAP is still making boosters mandatory and it is even more ironical given that this place is always the first to open up and welcome new variants from countries with low vaccination rates as seen in Africa now and India before that.

Instead of stopping new variants from coming in, they choose to rush to open up and force people to vaccinate and live with it -so at the end its a very predictable money over human welfare fom these highest paid ministers in the world
