Very decent neutralizing antibodies count against Omicron from 2 inactivated + 6 months in-between interval + Zhifei protein subunit booster. Zhifei ZF2001 already has EUA in China but Chinese regulators currently doesn't allow heterologous boosting. Again a reminder that China doesn't lack vaccine options, it's just the ultra-conservativism of its regulators.

describes a coronavirus meeting in which Kasai allegedly demanded of a Filipino staffer, “How many people in the Pacific have you killed so far, and how many more do you want to kill further?”
Kasai then allegedly asked if she was “incapable of delivering good presentations, because she was a Filipina.”
A Japanese official accusing someone from Asia with "how many people in the Pacific have you killed so far" is peak irony

Protein vaccines such as Novavax and Sinopharm second generation seem to fare better than mRNA in dealing with Omicron. Three doses of inactivated vaccines produce similar amount of antibodies with 2 doses of mRNA. Don't know about T cell. However, all vaccines don't do much against infections but the difference in preventing hospitalization and severe cases seem not by too much.
To be honest, there is no point to present facts to @Tyler who is not interested in it. He will come back soon repeating similar question or statement "mRNA is the king". There has been multiple times that he has been presented facts about the doubtful advantage of mRNA, yet he kept on repeating the non-senses without providing any counter evidence. I for one has presented the statistics of Israel, Norway and Danmark not long ago.

@Tyler, your constant making statements WITHOUT quoting any fact, data or medical study is equal to propagating fake news and lies. I have to be harsh on you because you have been repeating such behaviour non-stop.

I have called out @Tyler due to his rabid almost fawning like advocacy for MRnA vaccines like the man works for either Pfizer or Moderna.

Uzbekistan (only country outside of China to approve ZF2001) must be really pleased!
They even have a local production agreement.

I think MSM spent a year to say Chinese inactivated vaccines are not effective against Delta. Now it is about Omicron. This never ends.

it's their loss tbh, COVID is absolutely devastating to their economies as birth rates drop like a rock, immigration drops like a rock and discretionary consumption like retail, restaurant, tourism, etc. drop like rocks.

of course they'll say that they have a booming healthcare sector (to support COVID patients fighting to stay alive)
