Moderna CEO warns COVID-19 shots less effective against Omicron, markets tumble
06:49am, Tuesday, 30'th Nov 2021 Business Recorder
HONG KONG/SYDNEY: Drugmaker Moderna set off fresh alarm bells in financial markets on Tuesday as the firm''s chief warned that COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to be as effective against the Omicron variant as they have been against the Delta version. Crude oil futures shed more than a dollar, the Australian currency hit a year low, and Nikkei gave up its gains as Stéphane Bancel''s comments spurred fears that vaccine resistance could lead to more sickness and hospitalisations, prolonging the pandemic. "There is no world, I think, where (the effectiveness) is the same level?.?.?. we had with Delta," Moderna CEO Bancel told the Financial Times in an interview. "I think it''s going to be a material drop. I just don''t know how much because we need to wait for the data. But all the scientists I''ve talked to are like ''this is not going to be good''," Bancel said. Omicron - which the World Health Organization (WHO) said carries a "very high" risk of infection surges - has triggered global alarm, with border closures casting a shadow over a nascent economic recovery from a two-year pandemic.

Chasing the pandemics tail
05:40am, Tuesday, 30'th Nov 2021 Business Recorder
The emergence of a more transmissible variant of Covid-19, named Omicron, right when many hesitant countries had just started to open borders to foreign travellers confirms one thing for certain: rich countries hogging the covid-19 vaccines is going to ultimately be detrimental to them. The longer the virus is left to spread, the more chances it has of mutations. The more the virus mutates the more variants it can create. And the more variants it creates, the more chances there are of the virus will stand steadfast the current vaccines that have already been administered to millions of people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Omicron has a large number of mutations (32 to be precise), some of which are concerning and there is now evidence that there is an increased risk of reinfection with this variant compared to variants that have already appeared over the past year. The virus is spreading fast, now having engulfed not only South Africa where it originated but across the world including UK and Europe.

Sindh govt seeks 2m doses of Covid vaccines for booster shots
04:15am, Tuesday, 30'th Nov 2021 Dawn.com
KARACHI: The Sindh government needs two million doses of Covid-19 vaccines to offer booster shots free of cost, said Health Minister Dr Azra Fazal Pechuho on Monday. We urge the federal government to improve surveillance at all entry points, including airports, and restart the rapid antigen test for passengers. Second, its important that people get booster doses so their immunity is enhanced against the virus, she told a press conference against the backdrop of the new Covid-19 variant Omicron threat. Right now, the minister pointed out, the provincial government did not have sufficient vaccines for that drive. Thats why we have asked (the federal government) to provide us with 100,000 doses of Pfizer, 500,000 doses of Moderna and 500,000 doses of AstraZeneca, she said. People above 65 years of age, patients with suppressed immune systems and front-line workers would be the first to receive booster shots that would be offered free of cost, the minister added. About the severity of the new Covid-19 variant that has reached several countries, Dr Pechuho said that though much was known about it as studies were continuing, Omicron had shown 30 mutations, which were not observed earlier in any of its strains. There is no evidence yet about the presence of this new variant in Pakistan.

The Most Crowded Hedge Fund Stocks Just Had Their Worst Month In History: Here''s How To Make Money From Their Misery It was almost exactly a year ago when just weeks before the first of many epic short squeezes observed in a handful of meme stocks such as GME, AMC and so on, which would eventually consume the retail public with a daytrading, short-squeezing frenzy, that we reminded our readers that the single best alpha-generating strategy in this irreparably broken market is to go long the most shorted stocks (as this tweet from Nov 30, 2020 clearly states) Once again, the best strategy for a broken, incoherent market is to go long the most shorted stocks: double digit alpha 6 of the past 7 years https://t.co/GlV2aUYXlG pic.twitter.com/kOlXzxiCvH zerohedge (@zerohedge) December 1, 2020 ... a strategy that had worked like clockwork virtually every year in the past decade (with just one exception), and which we summarized as follows: " Do the opposite of Wall Street consensus and retire in a few years ." Most shorted YTD = 3x S&P500 Do the opposite of Wall Street consensus and retire in a few years pic.twitter.com/ouQ8Jc9NwI zerohedge (@zerohedge) December 4, 2020 Of course, while most of the US daytrading class is now in a furore over the "discovery" that most shorted stocks tend to outperform - to put it mildly - when a bunch of Gen-Z apes rams illiquid, heavily shorted names up the collective behind of hedge funds which "legally" collude during idea dinners to put on a basket of shorts, hence why stocks like GME can end up with a synthetic short that is higher than the entire float, none of this should be news to regular readers, as the theme of going long the most shorted names is one we first presented and discussed as far back as 2013: Presenting The Best Trading Strategy In This Market: Buy The Most Hated Stocks, Short The Most Widely Held We then reiterated this strategy in 2014...
