BREAKING NEWS: Boosters ARE effective against Omicron: Israeli scientists claim Pfizer's jab provides up to 90% protection against severe illness and super-strain is only 1.3x more infectious than Delta
UPDATED: 12:04 GMT, 1 December 2021
People who get a booster Pfizer Covid vaccine or who had their second jab within six months should still be highly protected against Omicron, Israeli health chiefs claim.
Without citing any data, Health minister Nitzan Horowitz yesterday said there was 'room for optimism' and that existing vaccines will shield against severe illness from the super-strain, based on 'initial indications'.
Hours later, a report by an Israeli news channel claimed the Pfizer jab was 90 per cent effective at preventing symptomatic infection from Omicron, only slightly less than Delta.
The Channel 12 news broadcast also claimed the super variant is just 30 per cent more infectious than Delta — much lower than initially feared.
For comparison, Delta is 70 per cent more infectious than the Alpha strain, which it outpaced earlier this year.
If the reports are confirmed it will be a massive relief to the UK which last night launched a mammoth booster programme for all adults, using Pfizer and Moderna's jabs, with the hope of curbing the mutant variant. Israel has been 'boosting' its entire adult population since the summer.
Mr Horowitz told local reporters yesterday: 'In the coming days we will have more accurate information about the efficacy of the vaccine against Omicron.
'But there is already room for optimism, and there are initial indications that those who are vaccinated with a vaccine still valid or with a booster, will also be protected from this variant.'
A spokesperson for the Health Ministry last night said it was not yet in possession of the data published by Channel 12.
But the comments come after the co-founder of BioNTech - which developed the Pfizer jab - said he was confident it would hold up against Omicron.

Excerpt:
"Our belief [that the vaccines still provide defence against the new variant] is rooted in science: If a virus achieves immune escape, it achieves it against antibodies, but there is the second level of immune response that protects from severe disease - the T-cells.
"Even as an escape variant, the virus will hardly be able to completely evade the T-cells." [Ugur Sahin, BioNTech CEO]
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is the most used Covid jab in the world, according to Oxford University's Our World in Data.
It has been used in more than 450m doses around the world.
Comments: Trust a true scientist (and doctor and oncologist and immunologist) to place science and hard data above all even at the expense of his own wealth

BREAKING NEWS: Europe Finds Only Mild or Asymptomatic Omicron Cases So Far
By Kevin Whitelaw
November 30, 2021, 10:37 PM GMT+8
The European Union has recorded at least 44 confirmed cases of the omicron variant in 11 countries, but so far all of those are asymptomatic or people with mild symptoms, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
“So far, no severe cases or deaths have been reported among these cases,” the ECDC said Tuesday in an update on the variant, based on information from public sources.

Moderna says an omicron variant vaccine could be ready in early 2022
PUBLISHED SUN, NOV 28 2021 9:43 AM EST
UPDATED SUN, NOV 28 2021 9:43 AM EST
KEY POINTS
Moderna’s Chief Medical Officer Paul Burton said Sunday the vaccine maker could roll out a reformulated vaccine against the omicron coronavirus variant early next year.
It’s not clear whether new formulations will be needed, or if current Covid vaccinations will provide protection against the new variant that has begun to pop up around the globe.
Omicron was classified as a “variant of concern” by the WHO last week.

There have been, many other 'variants of concern' in the past. Ultimately, Delta is dominant, and even then, the current vaccines provide protection. With mRNA vaccines which can be designed in a matter of days (Moderna's ground-breaking mRNA-1273 was finalised in 2 days), antivirals from Pfizer and Merck which target parts of the virus that is not changed, diagnostics, logistics and medical infrastructure, the new variant will, like all the variants, once more be banished into obscurity. Mankind will always prevail

Experimental antiviral pills - such as Pfizer Inc's (PFE.N) Paxlovid and Merck & Co Inc's (MRK.N) molnupiravir - target parts of the virus that are not changed in Omicron, and these drugs could become even more important if vaccine-induced and natural immunity are threatened.

Markets are forward looking 6 months ahead (for some sectors, even up to 12 months...)
In 6 months i.e. June 2022 Malaysia and Singapore will be largely, if not fully, back to normal with the UK & Egypt and US & Bahamas firing on all cylinders
(For reference, just look at the UK which has fully reopened for months and yet covid-19 deaths remain far below peak levels)
Then add the USD4.3 bil Resorts World Las Vegas which is performing above expectations (double the forecasted revenue - Nomura's RWLV forecasted revenue FYE2022: USD 350 mil and FYE2023: USD 477 mil when actual 3Q21 RWLV revenue alone is USD 175 mil)
On top of that, the coming quarters 4Q21 and 1Q22 will show marked improvement...and a turnaround play...
(in fact, secretly suspect 4Q21 might deliver a profit if there are no longer any impairments..... (see the breakdown of the 3Q21 results on page 21)
