Omicron discovered: the new mutant has symptoms other than Delta

In light of the closures and restrictions that countries around the world have returned to after the panic over the discovery of the new Corona mutant Omicron, the President of the South African Medical Association and discoverer of the Omicron mutant confirmed to Al-Arabiya that infections with the mutant have different symptoms from the Delta strain and the rest of the mutations, emphasizing that the unvaccinated are more susceptible to injury.

The data of the mutant in the bodies of the infected are different

He added that the symptoms of infection with the Omicron mutant are stronger in the case of the unvaccinated, noting that the mutant’s data in the bodies of infected people are different.

He stressed that “the new mutant is a concern for us”, but “the booster doses of the vaccine help to deal with the mutant”.

It also expected that more data on the mutant omicron would be available within two weeks.

Statements of Omicron’s discovery arrive in one moment in which the World Health Organization, on Wednesday, assured the world population that they are not there prove so far of a decline in vaccine efficacy due to the Omicron mutant of Corona.

Arrived in more than 24 countries

He also added that a new vaccine is not needed to combat the strain that appeared last week and has reached more than 24 countries so far, but that simple changes can be made to existing vaccines.

Interestingly, the new Korna strain first appeared in the middle of last month (November 2021) in South Africa, before spreading in other countries in Europe, Canada and the United States, reaching Israel, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Japan and others.

This disturbing and very different mutant is characterized by a high copy number, some of which are troubling, and may be linked to the possibility of escaping the immune system and increasing transmission of infection.
