“One [scenario] is where it creates more supply disruptions and prolongs higher inflation for longer. And one where it is more severe and we have to use more mobility restrictions, in which case demand could decline and inflation could actually recede much faster than what we have here. If the Omicron turned out to be more evil than other variants governments could be called upon to step in to cushion the blow for businesses and households. That could be a scenario where we need more fiscal support at this stage.”

“The sky is not falling. We've not seen any evidence that Omicron causes any more severe disease than any other variants.”

“The notion of having a global map of where the variants are and aren't is just fantasy. I don't think the travel bans really have much of an impact, other than answering the political pressures that inevitably arise when a new variant emerges.”

“In the absence of mass vaccination, Covid is not only spreading uninhibited among unprotected people but is mutating, with new variants emerging out of the poorest countries and now threatening to unleash themselves on even fully vaccinated people in the richest countries of the world.”

“New variants have been detected in other countries. Each of those cases have had no recent links with southern Africa. We feel some of the leadership of countries are finding scapegoats to deal with what is a worldwide problem.”

“We're opening a new era of relentless diplomacy, of using the power of our development aid to invest in new ways of lifting people up around the world... Today, many of our greatest concerns cannot be solved or even addressed by the force of arms. Bombs and bullets cannot defend against COVID-19 or its future variants... We are not seeking a new Cold War or a world divided into rigid blocs... We will choose to build a better future. We, you and I, we have the will and capacity to make it better. Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot afford to waste any more time. We can do this.”

“The fact that we are vaccinating healthy adults with a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccines is a short-sighted way of thinking. With the emergence of new variants, if we continue to leave the majority of the world unvaccinated, we will most definitely need adjusted vaccines in the future.”

“I understand the concern of all governments to protect their people from the Delta variant. But we cannot accept countries that have already used most of the global supply of vaccines using even more of it. We need an urgent reversal from the majority of vaccines going to high-income countries to the majority going to low-income countries.”

“As long as this virus is out there anywhere, replicating, we're going to see more variants, and those variants are going to come back and bite us as we're already experiencing with Delta. As we are pursuing every effort to get every American vaccinated, we are also engaged in the world.”

“Vaccines offer a ray of hope - but most of the world is still in the shadows. The virus is outpacing vaccine distribution. This pandemic is clearly far from over; more than half its victims died this year. Many millions more are at risk if the virus is allowed to spread like wildfire. The more it spreads, the more variants we see - variants that are more transmissible, more deadly and more likely to undermine the effectiveness of current vaccines.”

“We're going to see more effective variants of the Delta and then we're going to move on to the next one. It's basically humans versus the virus and its variants. Right now, the virus is gaining the upper hand. It is able to keep one step ahead of us.”

“The P1 variant is serious. Brazil could also spin out new, even more dangerous variants. The more people infected with the virus, the more mutations we're going to see.”
