Neuroimmunologist Boris Sakic, a professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, said the vaccine would not prevent symptoms but would protect us from respiratory failure, adding that the Chinese vaccine was best against the new strain omicron because it was made on " the classic way. "

In the guest appearance of RTSЌaki објас explains that the virus is like a "ball that has small legs" that are attached to anyone who passes by it, and it has mutated the most so far, and many companies have made a vaccine in an attempt to block it, but the Chinese vaccine was made on classic way, so it is the best in this case.

A new variant of the coronavirus omicron has been registered in 40 countries. Many European countries have seen a number of new outbreaks since the pandemic began, tightening measures for the unvaccinated. But the news that shocked the world public is that antibodies from the delta strain of the coronavirus do not protect us from omicron and vice versa, says the head of the Russian Center for Molecular Genetic Studies. What does this mean now, are all those who acquired antibodies to covid-19 unprotected?

Neuroimmunologist Boris Sakic, a professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, said as a guest on RTS's morning program that the Russian scientist's statement was very interesting at the moment.

- Of course, when the immune system is activated, there are many mechanisms that provide resistance to the virus that are not only associated with antibodies. "There are white blood cells called macrophages that can kill the virus to some degree," Sakic said.

According to him, experts believe that omicron can avoid some of these mechanisms, as well as those antibodies produced by the delta variant, or some other variant of the virus.

- However, the fact is that it is too early to say that they are completely useless, as the Russian scientist said. "Scientists in the West only believe that the response to the new species will only be reduced, but enough for a person not to end up on a respirator in a hospital," said the neuroimmunologist.

Few vaccinated in South Africa

He adds that only about 23% of people are vaccinated in South Africa and that a large number of people were the source of the new species.

"Vaccinated, they may not have full protection, but they will have the ability not to end up on a respirator," he repeated.

To those unfamiliar with medicine and biology, he tried to explain what the virus looked like and compared it to a ball with small legs that infect anyone who walks by.

- Many companies have developed a vaccine that can block that tiny paw that enters another cell and thus blocks its effect. There have been mutations that occur in people who are not resistant to the virus. "There were 32 mutations in that paw," Sakic said.

He notes that the assumption is that antibodies made to the alpha or delta species will not be able to block the new strain, but that the virus has other proteins in its shell that may trigger an immune response.

- If the body and our white blood cells break down the virus, small components remain in it, just as raspberries or blackberries have small parts, when the virus breaks down, the body creates an immune response to all those components, not just the paw. He pointed out.

Chinese vaccine best

He says that the Chinese vaccine is made in the classic way, the killed virus is injected, while the vaccines from the West are made only to adapt to the strain that unfortunately most often mutates.

"I think vaccination is still the best tool, the most important thing is that the person does not end up in hospital," said Sakic, concluding that the Chinese vaccine is most effective against the new species.

He cited the example of a study from Slovenia, which showed that the Chinese vaccine proved to be the best. Sakic noted that the vaccine does not protect against the omicron strain so that you do not have any symptoms, but it protects you from ending up in the hospital and prevents major complications for the patient.
