(ANSA) – ROME, 03 JAN – “We have a slice of the population that has had Covid but Omicron seems to break the immunity of the recovered. I have seen several of people already infected with the virus, who have contracted the new variant, what that with other variants it happened very rarely: previously we had 2-3 cases out of 1000 of reinfection, with Omicron it is more frequent, even if the cured ones generally show an articulated response to the infection which is further increased by the vaccine “.
Thus Massimo Galli, full professor of infectious diseases at the State University of Milan, interviewed during the Agorà broadcast on Rai Tre.
The expert says he is against the widespread reading that “this is a less serious variant and that ‘if many become infected, this will have the effect of a vaccination’, because it is not so”, since they can get reinfected. And then there is the problem, he added, that the more the virus continues to circulate at this speed, the more new mutations are at risk. “This – concluded Galli – where it leads I don’t know. If it led to a cold it would be fine, but I’m not sure, just think of what happened in Brazil, where the great diffusion last year led to the birth of a new variant” . (HANDLE).
