A doctor reveals the secret of weak immunity against the “Omicron” mutant and its recurrence
Professor and Doctor of Medical Sciences, Anton Ershof, said that many patients who recovered from the "Omicron" strain had contracted the virus again just one month after their recovery.
This was stated by him in an interview he gave to the electronic newspaper "Life".
According to the doctor, the symptoms indicate that these patients were repeatedly infected by a new African type of SARS-Cov-2 .
The doctor explained that the main distinguishing feature of “Omicron” is that it often multiplies on the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and does not descend into the airways, lungs and other body systems.
This is the secret of its resistance to antibodies that are produced after illness or vaccination.
While the doctor indicated that there is good news that “Omicron” disease develops according to the normal SARS scenario, and in the event of repeated infection, its course is less dangerous.
The doctor said: "My son had Omicron, and it cannot be said that his path was easy. But it was not fatal, and perhaps in such a scenario, the whole family would fall ill."
The Doctor of Medical Sciences stressed that vaccination against the Corona virus is still necessary, especially for citizens at risk, including the elderly and those with chronic diseases.
He is certain that in any case, it is better to familiarize the body with the virus in a "planned way" in advance, and not to wait for infection.
