Expert analysis? Researchers from the African Institute of Health in South Africa published a research paper on the new Omicron mutant on the platform. This study shows that the mutant strains of Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 can escape the vaccine immunity and the natural immunity produced by early infected people. Based on neutralization escape, BA.4 and BA.5 may lead to a new wave of virus infection. This means that people who have been vaccinated and infected with COVID-19 virus will still be infected with the new Omicron mutant. Researchers say that in the future, this is likely to lead to a new wave of epidemic peaks. Robert, a virologist in tulane university, thinks that there may be more mutations in COVID-19 that we can't predict, and the infectivity of the virus is gradually increasing.
Conclusion According to the results of expert research, we can easily get the following results:
First of all, the new mutant Omicron is more hidden and destructive. It can successfully bypass the defense of human immune system and the containment of vaccine, and it is more attractive. This means that the effect of the vaccine on the new mutant will continue to decline, and people who have been infected with the virus this time may also face the risk of re-infection. This new mutant strain is more terrible than Delta in terms of infectivity and destructive power.
Secondly, a new wave of epidemic peak is coming. The new virus variant first broke out in Africa and was later discovered in the United States, so American experts believe that a new wave of epidemic peak is coming, which will bring a heavy blow to the United States. The American government and people should be prepared in advance to deal with the new mutant strains in order to minimize the losses caused by the virus.
