    Just felt a bit off it and lethargic for a couple of days with the Pfizer booster. Wife was similar.

    Wonder which I will get. First two were Astra Zeneca. Least I am getting it done locally and don't have to travel.

    Don’t think AZ is an option as a booster (unless you can’t have the other two). I was told it’s either pfizer or moderna. That may be local to here though?

    This brings up a major question - should first world countries be getting booster shots before third world countries have been vaccinated? An unvaccinated population is going to breed mutants that have plenty of people to infect, and the globe being the globe, these mutants will make their way to Europe and elsewhere. This latest variant is coming fron a region where the % of vaccinated people is in the low 20% category.

    The problem in many of the African nations, is people refusing to be vaccinated, rather than a lack of available vaccines. South Africa recently cancelled vaccine orders, as they're overstocked, due to only half their target of vaccinations being met.

    Good point. Problem is that the African continent is so big and heterogeneous that there is no single, simple solution. There are huge chunks of the African continent that don't have a functioning healthcare system as we'd recognise it. Even in the big modern cities with healthcare, there are multiple educational and cultural reasons why many people are extremely distrustful of western medicine.

    I know someone out there, and during ebola when we were freaking out at home, they were shrugging saying they dealt with the risks of malaria, cholera, dysentery, typhoid on a daily basis, even in a "western" job. Ebola was just one more thing to them. Covid barely registers, unless you're an ex-pat who would like to be able to fly somewhere occasionally.

    It's important to remember that little is known about this new variant yet, and there's a lot of misinformation going around about it (I'm not saying here, just on the internet in general). The variant may or may not be more transmissible and as I understand it, it's unlikely to be able to escape the vaccines because of how they work and what it would actually take to evade them.

    It has already arrived. Confirmed case in Belgium this evening - somebody who arrived in early November from Egypt.

    New Omicron variant incredibly infectious..

    Will quickly become THE new World dominant Covid strain.

    Vaccines will have to be ‘tweaked’ yet again.

    Odds on Crimbo lockdown shortening by the day.



    Allam’s OUT.

    Oddly enough the WHO are saying it's the wrong thing to do or a step to far.

    2 flights that arrived in Holland from South Africa, the 600 or so passengers were initially held on the plane and refused entry now they have all been tested for covid, about 70 positive.
