• Noted virologist Shahid Jameel said it is a perilous thought spread by flippant individuals.

• "So we ought not actually consider this an immunization. It's not actually an antibody, we have had passings because of Omicron. We have had ICU confirmations because of Omicron. So it is a lot milder adaptation contrasted with Delta yet, it is an infection and we should be cautious," he added.
