Omicron less effective at attacking lungs than other variants, says study
British research has found Omicron might be less efficient at attacking the lungs than earlier Covid-19 variants, said dpa international.
The Cambridge Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease study concluded mutations on the virus’s spike protein, which makes it able to avoid antibodies, may also reduce how it replicates in the lungs and causes severe disease.
