The Omicron “tsunami” infected seventeen million Canadians

by Marzio Pelù July 7, 2022August 25, 2023

TORONTO – More than a new wave: it’s a tsunami. Omicron has attacked (also) Canada, making the infections from Covid-19 increase exponentially, despite – after the winter wave – the virus seemed to be in a downward phase. In fact, data from the Canadian task force reveal how quickly Omicron and its sub-variants spread across the country as early as the end of 2021 and early this year. The task force reported that as many as 17 million Canadians were infected in just five months, between December 2021 and May 2022.

Quarta dose prematura: solo il 57% ha fatto la terza

by Marzio Pelù July 6, 2022August 25, 2023

TORONTO – Si parla già di quarta dose, quando ci sono ancora centinaia di migliaia di persone che devono farsi la terza. Omicron 5 e la sua infettività fanno paura e mettono “fretta”, ma il direttore scientifico dell’Ontario Science Table, il dottor Fahad Razak, invita a tenere i piedi per terra. “Sebbene gran parte della conversazione in questo momento riguardi la quarta dose, per me scientificamente l’opportunità più chiara, la cosa che dovremmo fare – e non è una domanda sulla disponibilità, il vaccino è a nostra disposizione – è quella della terza dose”, ha detto lunedì a CP24… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

Fourth dose, it’s too early: only 57% got the third one

by Marzio Pelù July 5, 2022August 25, 2023

TORONTO – There is already who talks about the fourth dose, when there are still hundreds of thousands of people who still have to get the third one. Omicron 5 and its infectivity are scary and “in a hurry”, but the scientific director of the Ontario Science Table, Dr. Fahad Razak, invites to keep feet on the ground. “Although much of the conversation right now is about the fourth dose, for me scientifically the clearest opportunity, the thing we should do – and it’s not a question about availability, the vaccine is available to us – is the third dose” , he told CP24 on Monday.
