"praying..."This made me laugh
But the thing is, the countries locking us out are rushing to get vaccinated and we are arguing about big Pharma and praying for a cure.
They owe us nothing.

Thought this interesting:
Intensivstation = ICU
Ungeimpft = unvaccinated
Geimpft = vaccinated
Jahre = Years
So the gray box:
1) If over the age of 60, without vaccination, chance of ICU is 6.5x higher for same age group if vaccinated
2) If under the age of 60, without vaccination, chance of ICU is 18.5x higher for same age group if vaccinated
1) If under the age of 60, without vaccination, chance of ICU is 1.6x higher than over 60 vaccinated age group
Stats are based on 25 October to 21 November of this year for German public medical health plan (so everyone, since everyone is automatically insured if live there), fetched 26 Nov. 2021.

Are they just doubling down on the travel bans to save face now? they should at least lift them as it was absurd to start off with.

Pfizer, BioNTech vaccine neutralises Omicron with three shots
Dec 8 (Reuters) - BioNTech and Pfizer (PFE.N) said on Wednesday a three-shot course of their COVID-19 vaccine was able to neutralise the new Omicron variant in a laboratory test and they could deliver an upgraded vaccine in March 2022 if needed.The German and U.S. companies said two doses of their vaccine resulted in significantly lower neutralising antibodies but a third dose boosted those antibodies by a factor of 25.
In samples of blood taken around a month after the third shot the Omicron variant was neutralised about as effectively as two doses neutralised the original virus identified in China.
BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin suggested that countries might consider shortening the time period between second and third doses of the vaccine to combat the new variant.
