      We have been very transparent with scientific information. We identified, made data public, and raised the alarm as the infections are just increasing. We did this to protect our country and the world in spite of potentially suffering massive discrimination.pic.twitter.com/9CCVsYW8Dy

      This new variant is really worrisome at the mutational level. South Africa and Africa will need support (financially, public health, scientific) to control it so it does not spread in the world. Our poor and deprived population can not be in lockdown without financial support.pic.twitter.com/CeJIXudUIA

      This new variant, B.1.1.529 seems to spread very quick! In less than 2 weeks now dominates all infections following a devastating Delta wave in South Africa (Blue new variant, now at 75% of last genomes and soon to reach 100%)pic.twitter.com/Z9mde45Qe0

      Because this variant (B.1.1.529) can be detected by a normal qPCR due to deletion at Spike position 69-70 (like Alpha), it will make it easy for the world to track it. We estimate that 90% of the cases in Gauteng (at least 1000 a day are this variant, due to qPCR proxy testing)pic.twitter.com/QFU7javFA9

      We are working around the clock to understand effects on 1) Transmissibility, 2) vaccines, 3) Re-infection, disease severity, and diagnostics. We do have funding for science, but South Africa and Africa need financial help to support their deprived population and health system.

          I would like to plea to all billionaires in this world @elonmusk @BillGates @JeffBezos @DrPatSoonShiong @WarrenBuffett to support Africa & South Africa financially to control and extinguish variants! By protecting its poor and oppressed population we will protect the world.

          I know it's early days, however on the vaccines front is it closer to a "there will be slightly more breakthrough cases" situation or a "current vaccines won't work" situation?

          Just in my immediate circle (in EU, US) I have close to 10 cases of double vaxxed who contracted #COVID and had it a mild form. Breakthroughs are MUCH more prevalent than initially reported.

          Any relation of this variant with big spike in Europe? It is too soon to have it in Europe and making this impact but the numbers in Austria/Germany are crazy and may be caused by a new variant?

          Hi. I’m a retired Epi. The new variant is not surprising but horrifying. Our medical cartel does not respond correctly since they are run by private interests. What can I do to help?
