If a person gets infected with the new variant of corona i.e. Omicron, then he may get developed a fighting capacity 14 times more against corona. And, if a person has taken both doses of corona vaccine means fully vaccinated, then immunity will be double.
As we know that the cases of the new variant 'Omicron' of coronavirus are increasing rapidly all over the world. Researches are being carried out in many countries to cope with the coronavirus and its new variants. Recently, research has conducted by the Africa Health Research Institute on Omicron infected people, and the outcome was very much surprising. According to this, the body of people who have suffered from Omicron infection is more capable of fighting any variant of Covid. In this research trial, 15 vaccinated and unvaccinated people were included, who had been infected with the Omicron variant.
Research has shown that after an Omicron infection, the body's ability to fight Omicron again increases by 14 times. At the same time, the fighting ability against the deadly Delta variant is increased by about 4.4 times. The immune response of vaccinated people has been seen well as those who did not take the vaccine.
According to experts, if vaccinated people get Omicron infection, then, their immunity gets an even more boost, so it is very important to be fully vaccinated. Antibodies produced after Omicron infection can even prevent delta reinfection by means of that after having Omicron infection, the person becomes safer from future Covid infection. Although the sample size of this research is quite small, and more research is needed with larger samples, but the findings that have come out so far are interesting.
As we know that both Omicron and Delta are variants of the coronavirus, both of which are made from different types of mutations. Both mutations have been described by WHO as Variant of Concern. As of now, it seems that the Omicron variant will replace the Delta variant in the coming few days. The main reason for this is that Omicron spreads many times faster than Delta, but data coming from South Africa and other countries suggest that Omicron causes only mild infection and hospitalization is also very low.
Recent research has shown that if any person gets infected with Omicron, the antibodies produced from his or her body will give more strength to fight the Delta variant. But it is too early to conclude that the COVID pandemic will end with Omicron. A lot of research will be needed before we can reach any final conclusions now. But, how effective the vaccines prepared against Covid so far are for its variants, it is being tracked continuously. According to the current data, it appears that the vaccine against Omicron has not been as much effective as expected. So, it requires more study in this record to conclude but still, hope is there…..
As per experts, it is very much clear from the data that has come from South Africa, the UK, and European countries that Omicron is not as dangerous as Delta was. This does not mean that people will not die at all from this. The number of deaths will be much less compared to the variants coming before it, Alpha or Delta.
After the Omicron infection, the body's immunity against the corona will increase and the production of antibodies will increase. Omicron will give a new boost to the body's immune system. A 'defense in depth' mechanism works with B cells and T cells in our body, Let us hope…
Stay healthy, stay safe...
