What`s the use of vaccination when new mutations pop up?
The new variations come up because of individuals who have chosen to not be vaccinated. This fact is what causes the virus to continue to mutate.
Can new mutations not form in a vaccinated person then?
Nate
New mutants typically show up in populations where the vaccination rate is low, i.e. among larger non-vaccinated populations.
People in poor countries do not "choose not to vaccinate". They do not have access to vaccine. And they can't just "work from home", like many do in rick countries.
Vaccinated people may get covid-19, sure they do, but those are not any big source of mutants. The virus die out soon, it does not play around for weeks mutating again and again.
Mutants typically happen in a unvaccinated populations with limited health systems where people are left on their own sick and they continue to be among other people so that the mutant may move on from the sick people into the rest of the world.
Population and vaccination rate:
USA - 330 million people - 60% fully vaccinated
Africa - 1300 million people - 7% fully vaccinated
Tracking Coronavirus Vaccinations Around the World (New York Times live data)
Less than 10% of African countries to hit key COVID-19 vaccination goal (WHO

South Africa have 25% fully vaccinated people. In a population of 60 million, that means 45 million not fully vaccinated.
The new variant is called Omicron. It is NOT called the "South Africa variant". It was South African scientists who first warned about it. Still, nobody do know the origin.
The point is we need the entire world to be vaccinated, not just the rich countries, otherwise we will have to be in a pandemic state for years to come.

Wow, ok! Thought they were higher than that for some reason, I stand corrected! Thanks for the info.

Isn't South Africa's vaccination rate a lot higher than the rest of Africa though??

Interesting map. Looks like Chile, Cuba and Oman? have a very high rate. South-african variant just shows how volatile the Situation will remain if vaccines cant be shared more Equally. Kind of pathetic how Western european adults crave for a third (booster)shot. Why think of anybody else?

In future, people may well look back with shock over the methods applied at present to try and deal with Covid-19!

True that. It's gotten so frantic that the bigger picture got lost completely. People don't even realize the scope of the infringement of their rights anymore

It is not the South African variant any more than Delta was the Indian variant or the initial variant was the China virus.

Alright, glad you settled that Problem! Didn't touch the subject, But hey,at least we are politically correct.

Today the European Union is saying the time has come to give very serious consideration to mandatory vaccination.
More riots on the streets soon no doubt and although that will not solve anything I don't blame people for being so angry as this is utterly outrageous.

Pretty obvious, those who are against vaccination are threatening riots and those who are against Covid support the mandates.
What do the anti-vaxxers propose to minimize the impact of Covid?

Absolute nonsense,many people who have taken the vaccine are completely against mandatory vaccination.

How many though? Got the statistics?
Sure, there are people who chose to be vaccinated and don't support mandatory vaccinations.
I have a feeling these particular riots might not be of their interest though.
What are people counting on really anyway? That the virus will mutate to something that's not dangerous at all? It is possible, so is the opposite. There is no freedom to do whatever someone pleases in a society and unless scientists come up with a better idea mandatory vaccinations are the only way whether people want it or not.

What is pathetic,short sighted and extremely stupid is western governments not donating enough vaccines to poorer nations and the companies producing the vaccines not agreeing to licence them more freely due to nothing but greed.
I will be eligible for a booster soon here in the UK but I would personally rather donate it to someone else who hasn't had a chance to even get the first shot yet.The problem is that if I don't take the booster it will not be donated and may even end up in the bin just as other excess vaccines have done.

Maybe the public can strike a deal with these mutherfuxxers in power.We take mandatory Covid vaccines if they take mandatory MDMA pills and surely then we would not only bring the pandemic to an end but also there would be a drastically reduced chance of wars.
