Will Vaccines Stop the Omicron Variant

06:50am, Monday, 29'th Nov 2021 Novinite
Will the vaccines stop the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, the New York Times asks. The new version raises new concerns, because if it turns out that the existing vaccines do not affect it, they will have to be modified, the American publication notes. Amid disconnections from South Africa and fears of a new global wave of coronavirus over the weekend, scientists began frantic work to collect data on the new variant of Coronvirus Omicron, its features and, above all, how effective the vaccines will be against him. The initial information paints a vague picture. It is possible that the variant is more easily transmitted and easier to avoid the body''s immune reactions, both in the case of vaccination and in natural infection, compared to previous variants of the virus, experts said. Vaccines may continue to provide adequate protection in terms of preventing severe forms of covid and death, but booster doses may be needed to ensure protection for most people. Manufacturers of the two most effective vaccines, Pfizer / Biontech and Moderna, are preparing to modify their preparations if necessary, the New York Times points out.

Futures, Oil, Cryptos Soar As Omicron Panic Fades

11:51pm, Sunday, 28'th Nov 2021 Zero Hedge
Futures, Oil, Cryptos Soar As Omicron Panic Fades It appears that Goldman was right again. As we reported yesterday , the bank''s traders (not the worthless research analysts whose output is evaluated by the pound not P&L) blasted a report to their best clients, claiming that "we can have reasonable degree of confidence that this mutation is unlikely to be more malicious and that the existing vaccines will most likely continue to be effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths. As such, while we would monitor the situation in Gauteng closely over the next month, we do not think that the new variant is sufficient reason to make major portfolio changes." That position was bolstered overnight by two of South Africa''s top doctors (not worthless propaganda quacks like Anthony Fauci) including the one who first discovered the so-called "Omicron", said that the latest strain was "Extremely mild" and speculated that the numerous mutations in the spike protein "destabilize" the virus. And at least in early Sunday night trading, after suffering their worst post-Thanksgiving plunge since 1941, futures are euphorically ramping higher, unwinding a substantial portion of the Friday puke, with Eminis trading as high as 4630 after trading as low as 4577 on Friday ... oil surging, with WTI spiking as much as 5.7% even if it clearly still has a ways to go recover its Friday losses when WTI plunged $10 as international travel restrictions were reimposed by many countries and airline stocks plummeted.
Omicron Is "Extremely Mild" Says Doctor Who First Discovered Strain As Numerous Mutations "Destabilize" The Virus With Fauci, big government fanatics, Democrat officials, and the biopharma lobby all turning the Omicron (not to be confused with Xi as the WHO explained earlier ) variant fearmongering to max, a few holdouts are still trying to maintain a lack of panic (even if that means less revenue for makers of Pfizer and Moderna megayachts). One, as we noted last night, is Goldman which said that the bank has a "reasonable degree of confidence that this mutation is unlikely to be more malicious and that the existing vaccines will most likely continue to be effective." Then this morning, the Pretoria doctor who first sounded the alarm about the new strain and who is a Covid-19 adviser to the South Africa government said that symptoms linked to the omicron coronavirus variant have been mild so far. Contrary to the panicmongering unleashed by western mainstream median, Barry Schoub, chairman of the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Vaccines, told Sky News on Sunday that while South Africa, which first identified the new variant, currently has 3,220 people with the coronavirus infection overall and while the variant does appear to be spreading rapidly, theres been no real uptick in hospitalizations The cases that have occurred so far have all been mild cases, mild-to-moderate cases, and thats a good sign, said Schoub, adding that it was still early days and nothing was certain yet.
