Seeing some early numbers of on vaccines with boosters. Two Pfizer + B against Delta is 90% effective in preventing serious disease, with Omicron the same combo is only 70% effective. I'm not sure I'm believing that Omicron is mild, should have a lot more info in another week. It's looking like it's infecting a lot of the vaccinated but the vast majority of those cases don't even require hospitalizations. I would like to see the severity of Ommicron in just the unvaccinated before believing that, the large number of mild cases among the vaccinated may be just making it look more mild.

It's still too early to know the severity but I came across this, doesn't sound mild to me but I'm still hopeful.
"Denmark has 37 people hospitalized with omicron, and the % of omicron cases requiring hospitalization is higher than that for delta."

Amazingly, omicron, which wasn't present in Ontario on November 20, will be the dominant strain by later this week, and will replace delta by Christmas. 33% in the SPARSEQ run today in Toronto. Will be dominant by Wednesday. Omicron cases doubling every 3 days

Starting to sound like Omicron isn't so bad compared to Delta.

Early data shows the variant is more transmissible, but much less severe.

The CBC reported today that it might be dominant as soon as two weeks, not this week.

Factually incorrect. There have been Omicron deaths in South Africa. But that is not the point, right? AB made fun of mr trumpf on SNL so he's a bad man, yes?

how is someone stupid enough to to type that out, smart enough to know how to spell? seems like if you're stupid enough to believe shit like that, you ought to be too stupid to turn a computer on...do you go to the public library and get them to help you?
it would just be another nail in the small dirty black coffin trump's soul was buried in, if it turns out a trump supporter on the set loaded that gun in the hopes that something like this would happen...which is a very believable scenario...

WHO: Vaccines may be less effective against omicron
New research suggests that existing COVID-19 vaccines may be less effective in fighting the omicron variant than previous strains of the virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Wednesday.
The WHO said further research is required to get a clearer sense of how the omicron variant may penetrate immunity gained from the vaccines, which have generally proved effective against the coronavirus, Reuters reported.
"As a result of this, the overall risk related to the new variant of concern Omicron remains very high," the WHO said, according to Reuters.
A study of the omicron variant that was published earlier this month found that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine may be less effective against the omicron variant than prevous strains of COVID-19. In the study of 12 patients by the Africa Health Research Institute, there was a nearly 40-fold reduction in vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies compared to the original strain of the virus.
A new study that was published this week by Discovery Health, however, found that the Pfizer vaccine is 70 percent effective at preventing hospitalizations in patients infected with the omicron variant.
Preliminary studies from Pfizer and BioNTech have additionally found that a booster shot of their vaccine, in addition to the initial two doses, provides strong protection against the variant, according to the companies.
