First case of Omicron in North America – the fully vaccinated are carrying and transmitting the virus – but get boosted!

On November 29, 2021 the first 2 cases of the COVID-19 Omicron variant was identified in Canada, the first for North America.  At this time 16 countries have identified the presence of the “highly transmissible” Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2.

This case set the CDC in motion to heavily promote getting a booster shot – a vaccine that still codes for the Wuhan variant!  Those fully vaccinated are not prevented from getting infected or for transmitting the virus to others. [1, 2]

Shortly after the CDC announced an “infected individual, who is fully vaccinated” who returned from South Africa on Nov. 22, 2021 is the first case of Omicron in the United States [3]
