And with this study showing no protection from Omicron from Sinovac? What then? I think if you get a "booster" shot in the DR, it has to be Pfizer, no, and not a third shot of Sinovac.
Sinovac Provides Inadequate Shield Against Omicron in Hong Kong Study
The vaccine made by Sinovac Biotech Ltd., one of the most widely used in the world, doesn’t provide sufficient antibodies in two doses to neutralize the omicron variant and boosters will likely be needed to improve protection, initial lab findings showed.

3rd shot/booster seems to improve the protection
=====================
Among a group of 25 people vaccinated with two Coronavac doses, none showed sufficient antibodies in their blood serum to neutralize the omicron variant, said a statement from a team of researchers at the University of Hong Kong released late Tuesday night.
The Beijing-based company then released its own findings on Wednesday, saying that seven of 20 people -- 35% -- who received two doses in its study showed sufficient antibodies to neutralize omicron.
The picture improved somewhat when a booster shot was added into the mix, with Sinovac’s lab results showing that among a group of 48 people who had received three doses, 45 of them, or 94%, had sufficient antibodies to neutralize omicron, the company said. It didn’t elaborate on details of its study or whether findings were going to be published in a scientific journal.

Looks like the vaccinated are spreading Omicron like wildfire. Both to other vaccinated people AND to the purebloods (unvaccinated).

No one said that vaccines stop the spread of Covid. So if there is a much larger percentage of people that are vaccinated of course there will be a larger percentage of Covid spreading from that larger percentage.
What we do know is that it is a FACT that vaccines work by keeping people from ending up in an ICU on a ventilator and dying of Covid. Hence the smaller percentage of unvaccinated people make up the larger percentage of deaths.....................
So high 60's, that would be about 2 to 1 Vaccinated people over Unvaccinated. So that would be a pretty good margin. Would it not?
Well, consider the other countries....
