Scientists have expressed apprehension about the fourth wave of corona. Scientists in South Africa say that many new variants of Omicron can dodge earlier antibodies present in people. It is a matter of relief that he has said that these viruses will not be able to show much effect in the blood of those who have been vaccinated.
Scientists from several institutions together studied the Omicron ba.4 and ba.5 variants. It was included in the WHO monitoring list last month. During the study, blood samples were taken from 39 people who had been infected with Omicron in the past. Of these, 15 had also got the corona vaccine. 8 people were given the Pfizer shot, 7 were Johnson & Johnson and 24 were those who had not received any vaccine.
The study said, ‘Those who have been vaccinated have five times more immunity and are more protected.’ Those who were not vaccinated also had 8 times less antibodies. These too had been infected with BA.1 but had very little ability to fight against BA.4 and BA.5.
Officials and scientists say that the fifth wave of corona in South Africa is going to come prematurely. He says that this wave can come because of BA.4 and BA.5. Let us tell you that only 30 percent of South Africa’s population of 60 million have been vaccinated.
