IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Ursula von der Leyen

  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 17 hours ago

“A week into the fourth dose we know to a higher degree of certainty that the fourth dose is safe. The second piece of news: We know that a week after administration of a fourth dose, we see a five-fold increase in the number of antibodies in the vaccinated person. This most likely means a significant increase against infection and …hospitalization and (severe) symptoms.”

“A booster jab will pump up your protection to 70-75% and it will also reduce your risk of a severe infection but that could also lend you a false sense of security. While it is important to get the unvaccinated vaccinated, first jabs would not be enough to fight off omicron. It takes many weeks for the immune system to develop a defense. The virus moves faster than that.”

“It is also noted that by infecting many more people, a very infectious virus may cause more severe disease and death even though the virus itself may be less pathogenic. Therefore, taken together with our recent studies showing that the Omicron variant can partially escape immunity from vaccines and past infection, the overall threat from the Omicron variant is likely to be very significant.”

“It is hard to say that the global effort in fighting against coronavirus has gone up in smoke. Two weeks of data and lab materials are needed to make a precise judgment of the new variant. The vaccination rate in South Africa, where the new variant caused a jump in infection, is very low, with just 24 percent of fully vaccinated individuals. If the situation [in South Africa] occurred in Israel [where more than 80 percent are vaccinated], then undoubtedly, we would say the world is facing another round of a tough COVID-19 fight.”

“It's true that Moderna has better protected people from infection, but the two vaccines are almost equivalent in effectiveness against severe disease. This is important so that our hospitals won't be overwhelmed. If you were to ask me two months ago when we had only 100 cases a day, I would have said we don't need to go with a booster. But in the meantime, we moved from 100 cases a day to 8,000 cases a day and I won't be surprised if in a couple more days we see more than 10,000. We had no choice but to give a booster shot. I would have preferred more data, but I think we made the right call.”
