“Extremely premature.” One of the South African doctors who first detected the new coronavirus variant Omicron is among those criticising the global reaction that has sparked travel bans and tough border measures.

Thanks to her now South Africa has travel bans ……
Honestly doesn’t always paid well, does it? Fearmongering leaders do. They have been promoting new variants and boosters at the same time 😜
Is this her claim to fame🤔🤔🤔
Cry me a river. This is how things are.
What? The world of Science being led by fear and panic instead of objective reasoning?
This pandemic continues to stay with us……sigh!😞

I live in Norway 🇳🇴 How can I help you?
“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.”
😵😵😵😵😵
“We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes – understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”
In the USA, you profit from such failures while killing thousands of people.
The global reaction is simply farcical. European countries and the USA are just creating hype, chaos to continue this scandal.
Seems strange that she is saying this virus is more mild in severity and yet the majority of the patients she is referring to were young healthy adults of which some were vaccinated. So if these young patients are now suffering mild/moderate disease from Omicron and yet with delta were mostly asymptomatic or light symptoms, then wouldn’t it make this a slightly more virulent virus than delta? Reports from other South African hospitals state that there are a large number of younger patients being admitted to hospital with moderate symptoms such as extreme tiredness, high heart rate and fatigue, this suggests it is more virulent.
@e w this is Africa, people run into the clinic like a national pastime over there.
@Cosmic Wakes how do you that snow flake media lover
@Not Interested wow how racist of you
@Renier Lindeque how? Everything I said was anti racist.
@Cosmic Wakes all variants so far are less deadlier than the original C19 virus. Even when the vaccines didn’t exist for a whole 2020, 98.5% humans on this planet survived. If you had asked your ENT in 2018, he’d be able to tell you that at least 10-15 variants of corona living in your nostrils. In fact corona viruses in general are older then human race.
The global response is RACIST. Demonizing Africa which is NOT even the center of the Pandemic. The US and Europe is The COVID Capitol of EARTH. The West is diseased not Africa 🙄
She is the devil
The WHO initially also recommended against travel bans when this all started last year. Two years later and we are still dealing with the effects.
GENOCIDE
This covid hysteria has LONG been over for me! Can’t stop it , slow it only prolong it with asinine policies.
I was never into it in the first place even when everybody around thought of me as selfish
After 2 weeks of lockdown in spring 2020, Sweden opened up their country again and people didn’t drop dead on the streets as the world had predicted. For me, that’s right there when the pandemic was over.
Sorry madam i don’t trust you,you are part of the anti Christ.why you guys don’t make your own planet and leave us alone?
I’m surprised this is such an honest report in this day and age.
For you, “honest” = “I agree with this”
Officially, breathing, farting, burping, walking, sutting and 20/20 vision are signs of covid.
Many countries in the global north have been isolated in the past too. Each country has had their time, the travel ban is not a social issue.
They haven’t banned any of the countries in the global North which have the Omicron variant. Only us in Africa get that treatment.
@Cai MacCoinnich we ban 11 countries now.
Vaccine hoarding by the rich western countries and banning patent waivers of mRNA vaccine had created this.
“If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied,
socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized …
If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance —
you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest.” – Ian -Watson
Yep South African Doctors are not criminals!!!
Every country western, African be it Asian can afford all sorts of guns without asking for grants, but once it comes to medication the narrative changes.
The only “pandemic” I have seen for the last year is one of overreaching and power hungry people
Get real,mam
@Ussv Mehar get informed, man
@Boston Galden information does not equal to knowledge maaaaaannn
@A MC Get a dictionary, maaaaaan!!
Doctors dont detect nor discover virus or variants but scientist, virologist, genome sequencing.. they just noticed the surge of patients.
Ofcoarse they going to react that way , the big pharmaceutical are running the show , next they will start to say COVID-19 came from Africa.
All viruses are dangerous to human.
You are misinformed. We have trillion trillions of germs living on and in your body to keep you healthy. Otherwise you won’t last a second after being born.
The world will find a cure for this virus and if anyone tells us about this virus, we will not harm it.
Why the name is imicron
Omicron
Another illegal psychological operation on the American People and the World. Time to stop these crooks or turn off our TVs.
Ah yes the variant from Omnicrom Persei 8, Emperor Lrrr will be ecstatic his plan for world domination is coming together 👍🏻
@A MC I can’t stop laughing, you covaids hysteria-ists are amazing. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you forgot your quotation marks, now dumb ppl think youre serious. “if you do not give us what we want, we will raise the temperature of the earth One million degrees a day, for 5 days”
@A MC That’s right sheep 🐑. Sing for your good ol’ masters the guberment.
@A MC I love the way you have just snaked out like you weren’t just handed one of the biggest L’s in your life.
I liked your comment so you would see this 👍🏻😂😂😂
@Fiore Deutchmark Oh lawdy! It took you one whole day to write down this comment and like mine? Hahahaha I think that big L is a label that you carry so much with you, that trying to look like a bully on Youtube will make you feel proud for weeks. Are you gonna share this achievement with your incel friends? 🤩
How abt those corrupt African leaders invest money into research for their own vaccine..
Too corrupt to think abt that
Where is the DELTA variant goes?
Viruses mutate.. RNA virus like covid will mutate even more…. Expect more such new viruses… Living in a delusional conspiracy hyperbole makes it worse for all… Vaccine may or not prevent new covid infection.. but it certainly will kp you out f hospital.. mild infection only.. hv seen first hand,the delta effects.. this s worse.. attacks the lungs straight away.. I am an intensivist…
@Ussv Mehar But this lady in this clip says it’s not worse than the Delta-variant and just give mild symptoms. That’s why she not understand the harsh reaction from the world that we see now. She didn’t say that this variant is worse!
Alpha, Delta+, Omicron, Omygod++ are just several to be accidently found. The rest of 850,000 variants are out there like stars in the sky.
@smurfiennes blue Truths! There most definitely will come more mutations of the corona virus 🦠
Just check oil price yourself, when biden release 50m barrels of strategic oil reserves, the oil price doesn’t change at all. 3 days later the omicron start to spread, then oil price drop 10%.
This is the power of information/misinformation…
I thought Doctor Who was a guy?
No everyone does not need to b vaccinated. Everyone needs to get a mild case.
Then get more varients. Who knows worse variants. Your Ignorance is amazing.
This virus is a micro-alien.
Doctor Who tv show fans be like: :O
corona go!
go corona!
Nice stock hospital footage
*Teddy Roosevelt:* “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”
The sheep fear the wolf only to be eaten by the Shepherd.
Will anyone ask the biggest questions, please? How did she isolate this variant. Symptoms alone? Can we get a scientist to follow the scientific method before they create news, please.
Symptoms alone
She said in another report that she had the virus sequenced.
Thank you For proper reporting and real journalism 🌎🌸
” brought to you by pfizer ” – video
” by their pharmacies ” – Rev.18 23.
Is she the new Doctor Who?
Hang in there my Doctor, you can clearly see in her face that she is hurt, she was trying to help and be honest at her Job. But this world we live in ,is not for honest people, l bet this poor Doctor even regret speaking up now. So much drama for nothing, and that WHO is worse than the Media
This will all end when CHINA tells the world the truth of its origin. This is worldwide genocide just to cover up chinas secrets. Look how china treated the world, the world should return them the favor, CCP should be viewed as the shame of the human race next to the nazis
If you had waited a month it would have been called the Australian or Italian variant 😆
Fake storey
India stop travel ban from africa
Let it spread then if it’s that mild. The world will be immune within a month
As usual there is fear mongering.
I am not getting another vaccination.
Shouldn’t get any. It lasts just 4 months because of the fast mutations.
⁰0
« The people who are vaccinated have contracted the virus « the rest of the video is just propaganda
Hope she’s right about it being mild or she’s going to look like a right plank…
Don’t worry, Africa has its own deadlier epidemics all year round for decades and the world doesn’t care their statistics! So now a new variant is found there, and they are in the spotlight? For all I care, it could be from Australia or Europe, because they’ve found Omicron also in Australia despite ultraright lockdown. The NL, Belgium and Germany have also found that Omicron have been there for at least a week ago.
@smurfiennes blue Canada has developed a vaccine against Ebola, credit must be given where credit is due, in fact I think you’ll find most vaccines were developed by the rest of the world for deadly diseases in Africa… here in UK we were also ostracized by the world when we discovered the Alpha variant of covid, it’s better to be proactive than sit back with a “ let’s wait and see “ attitude, that’s exactly where China went wrong in the beginning of all this…we’ll know more in 2 weeks time as to where we sit.
Al-Jazeera = truth news 🗞️📰👍
I detected omega variant in my laboratory. But I found remedy for it. It’s 6 pack and grilled chicken
cancer specialist knew its dangerous, u might have mild symptom but develop cancer in your blood cell with 30mutation on spike protein…..
Countries have been burning from covid for 2 years, nobody really knows at this time how serious this strain is.
Anyone who claims to know, is talking bs. So, better safe than sorry.
Burning from governments not Covid.
Vaccines didn’t even exist in 2020, yet 98.5% humans still survived from the attack of a brand new virus. 600 days on and 850,000 variants more, I think we should use our common sense, shouldn’t we?
This numbered variant was found in July.
I feel this won’t age well
Why?
Guess what They will reveal their so called vaccines for this new variet which is already available in their labs
Oh …. I thought this was about who would be replacing Jodie Whitaker.
why should we not place travel bans lady. government needs to protect its citizen. Lady south africa is a young country. Many countries have older citizen than yours.
A little to late, besides Omicron doesn’t necessarily originate from South Africa. It’s discovered there. For all I know, it could be from Europe or US. Omicron has been in NL a week ago according to RIVM (our CDC) and Schiphol is one the busiest airports in Europe. They even have found Omicron in Australia despite their ultratight lockdown. When vaccines didn’t exist in 2020, 98.5% of human being on this planet survived a brand new virus. So no need to panic, 600 days on and 850,000 variants further, we are actually stronger than ever against C19, vaccinated or unvaccinated.
That’s because the governments don’t actually want this pandemic to ever end…
No need to panic the world by posting each second News Bulletin on Pandemic more than the virus these bulletins are more contagious putting the mind in confused state. Just follow the basic protocols keep yourself clean.
Don’t forget sunlight for vit D and fish/seafood for zinc. They both are good for your immune system against flu or C19
God will punish some many people, for doing all this rubbish to the world. Every year they will come up with something, God Almighty will punish them because, this is human being that is causing this
FYI…she cannot be more specific because she was not directly involved with the team that detected the variant. She is the chairman / chairwoman of the South African Medical Association, as noted in the AlJazeera caption The team that made the discovery is a large and diverse group from seven different South African universities. Most probably the actual discovery was made by a students / residents working on a thesis or Phd as it is often the case.
She is the Dr with a.practice also who had seven patience.with mild symtons(vaccinated patience)..she was one of the first professional who detected the new variant.
I’m still not getting vaccinated for “very, very mild symptoms.”
Oh my after all this time the flu is back and yet the rest of the world goes into a full blown panic because of WHO and PHARMA fanning the flames of terror with statements not based on any scientific proof……come on people get real, we will have to learn to live with covid as we do with the flu and that is a fact of life.
@0:32 Why? For their limitless fear, bigotry (fear)(including their desire to close and control all borders) and greed (fear).
If half a million people land up dead she is going to look stupid
Africa has seen many epidemics year round that kill millions of them and the world don’t (want to) hear their statistics. And now because of a new variant, suddently they are on the spotlight? Gimme a break! The vaccines didn’t even exist in 2020, yet 98.5% of human beings on this planet survived a brand new virus called C19. And now 600 days on and 850,000 variants more, you are still living in your bubble? Wake up and smell the coffee, buddy.
Body aches, extreme fatigue and headaches even amongst vaccinated??? Don’t seem that ‘mild’ to me!
Bec SA it’s 3th world country . You need life Chk list to figure it out ????!!!!
3th world country …
Vaccins for C19 didn’t even exist for the whole 2020, yet 98.5% of human being on this planet survived a brand new variant called Covid19. And now 2 years on and daily natural microvaccinations, we are all stronger than ever, vaccinated and unvaccinated people. Don’t let new variants cause anxiety, stress is bad for your immune system. Live actively and eat healthy, fresh air and get enough sunlight. And don’t forget to get enough vit P (Pleasure).
Well I’m in New Yor k and the cases is raising here crazy, yesterday we had 7.000 people who tested positive for covid and 54 deaths in only one day “delta variant” can imagine with this new variant? Nope! I won’t wait for the results
It’s good to know…thanks for the information
If vaccine efficacy depends on everyone getting vaccinated, then I have news. It won’t happen and it’s an impossible task. Better to surrender to the virus instead, call it a day!
Can you please keep the info secret next time? We need to think of our poor people who are going to die of hunger.
We don’t care about Covid anymore.
Why are you saying 7% are fully vaccinated ?
That’s not true .
It was above 27%
because SOUTH AFRICA is NOT as powerful as CHINA
would it help if they just called it number fifteen? o micron sounds concerning
Is this person aware that most South African countries have an abundance of vaccines, and have had for some time? The real issue is vaccine hesitancy even in these poor countries, it is misleading to suggest that supply the problem! Also, whether were rich or poor, when a variant of this level of potential transmissibility arises in the world, it is sensible to isolate the cases until a better understanding can be reached. This flight cancellations will likely only last a few weeks
