33. Oliver's presentation includes this slide, which shows that as with older groups, vaccine efficacy in 12-15 yos (red line) declines over time. pic.twitter.com/G20EXXvIX7

Fig 5B: repeat w/ live Omicron previous pseudotype study findings that Om does not induce cell syncytia (cell-cell fusion, which is highly pathogenic/inflammatory).

Fig 5D: confirm much reduced lung epithelial replication (an order of magnitude).

Almost all the area under the viral load curve is above the antigen test threshold and the viral culture threshold.

New from today's @UKHSA report is the finding that Omicron has faster vaccine effectiveness waning vs symptomatic infection than Delta (N for Moderna small)https://t.co/viVjY37rNQ which is a replication of what has been seen in Israel @BarakRaveh pic.twitter.com/ynNM0DlRkv

In neutralization assays, @BalazsLab observes only a 4-fold or 6-fold reduction in titer going from wild-type to Omicron after booster relative to 43-fold or 122-fold after initial mRNA vaccine series (https://t.co/EuHC1fuHWP). 4/14 pic.twitter.com/AidMZkxzUd

This study gives one of the most powerful illustrations of technical progress: our increasing laziness.

71.9% of cases in London with specimens from 13 December were Omicron.

Under existing control measures, we project a wave of infections resulting from Omicron that exceeds the January 2021 levels, for all four scenarios.

In the optimistic scenario, hospital admissions are projected to remain below Jan 2021 levels. pic.twitter.com/LpZIp4NQxA

I wanted to share one more figure from the #Omicron pre-print that I think offers some additional support for the idea that mRNA boosting doesn't just increase the total neutralizing response but instead "broadens" it to enable Omicron neuralization: pic.twitter.com/WPejn0d0ro
