In week 50 BA.2 was 2% in Denmark.
“That number has now risen to 28% in Week 1.”
“At the same time, the proportion of cases of BA1 has dropped from 72% to 68%. The last 4% is made up of the delta variant.”
Interestingly, Delta hung on in DK in early ‘22 https://t.co/yzJ1xAel3h
It's very hard to watch today as the US hospitalizations climbed above 150,000, ICUs more than 25,000, and nearly 2,700 deaths—the vast majority were preventable by vaccinations and/or boosters.
And >900,000 new cases, some of whom will progress to severe disease or #LongCovid
Nykode CEO @MEngsig and CISO @ABFredriksen present an update on its next-gen COVID-19 vaccine candidates, including a T-cell-based vaccine developed using epitopes identified and validated by our immune medicine platform. Watch now at https://t.co/uZ80pYGhxT.
T-cell-based vaccines have the potential to elicit a broad and durable immune response to SARS-CoV-2 including Omicron and future variants. Learn more about our collaboration with Nykode Therapeutics on next-gen COVID-19 vaccines at https://t.co/SQxPC9dpb0.

@EricTopol@Annals_Oncology@DrChoueiri@NatureCancer@EricTopol it’s the first line with vaccinated vs unvaccinated that really starts concerning me. Thoughts please.
Please also look at the Danish distributions of vaccinated vs unvaccinated infected with omicron vs delta. 🙏
@EricTopol In Denmark I’m afraid it’s just because all the healthy folks test before seeing their relatives. I’m not convinced yet this is a true downward trend.
Anybody who says "I hate Twitter" has never tried to keep up with a pandemic in which crucial new data is released every few hours, data that often requires sophisticated interpretation by domain experts in areas ranging from virology to epidemiology to supply chain to sociology.
Amongst God knows what wave and Omicron - it looks like White Christmas in Copenhagen. Happy holidays to all 🎉⭐️ @ Kongens Lyngby https://t.co/IuqONGmOxP
A short thread with some thoughts & calculations of mine about Omicron. Still preliminary, so don't take any figures as final, but it's a start... 🧵
From Omicron's sequence, there's a lot of antigenic drift, posing the threat of evading our immune response. Good that vaccine companies are gearing up for it. But we ought to be pressing hard for a pan-sarbecovirus vaccine that would target *all* variants https://t.co/avBeceJvox
