Omicron incompletely escapes immunity induced by the Pfizer vaccine - Africa Health Research Institute

Laboratory research from South Africa strongly suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant escapes antibody immunity induced by the Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty) vaccine, but that considerable immunity is retained in people who were both vaccinated and previously infected. The research, led by...

"“The clinical implications of these important laboratory data need to be determined. It is likely that lesser vaccine-induced protection against infection and disease would be the result. Importantly, most vaccinologists agree that the current vaccines will still protect against severe disease and death in the face of Omicron infection. It is therefore critical that everyone should be vaccinated,” said Africa Health Research Institute executive director Professor Willem Hanekom. "

In other words, if you have been vaccinated you will still get Delta, no different with Omicron, you will still get it. Also they do not test a person that has had the two shots and the booster.

My booster appointment is tomorrow morning so I called the county nurse to check on which one I can get, she said I can pick which ever one I want, they are all available through the county. I already have 2 doses of Pfizer so I'm going with a J&J booster. A small study that has been submitted for peer review says that it's a better option than 3 Pfizer doses. Both ways will raise the antibody levels for good protection but with 2 Pfizer doses and a J&J Booster they saw a more robust and longer T cell response. Of course this was submitted before Omicron but Pfizer has come out and said that 3 doses should at least take away the threat of severe illness.

Not good.
Update on coronavirus outbreak at Christmas party in Oslo: - 80 out of 111 participants later tested positive. All or most believed to be Omicron - Everyone had a negative test before the event and nearly all were vaccinated - 79 had symptoms, but no one was hospitalized
