Two Singapore residents may have caught the omicron variant even after receiving their booster shots, in cases which may shed light on the protection offered by a third dose of vaccine.
A 24-year-old female airport passenger-service worker has returned a preliminary positive test to omicron, in what would be the city-state’s first case of local transmission of the variant, the health ministry said in a statement late Thursday. The second person is considered an imported case after returning from Germany via the vaccinated travel lane on Dec. 6.
Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE earlier this week said initial lab studies show a third dose of their Covid-19 vaccine may be needed to neutralize the omicron variant. Company researchers observed a 25-fold reduction in neutralizing antibodies that fight the variant, compared with the original strain of the virus, in people who got just two shots. However, boosting with an additional shot of the vaccine restored protection to a level similar to the initial two-dose regimen.
“Given its high transmissibility and spread to many parts of the world, we should expect to find more omicron cases at our borders and also within our community,” Singapore’s health ministry said.
Both people are recovering in in isolation at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, and all close contacts will be placed in 10-day quarantine at designated facilities, the ministry said.

So we will be seeing more cases of Omicron infections in the coming days...?
Looks like PAP MOH will continue to lie to us abt mRNA effectiveness against Omicron and other variants, based on backside protected by Pfizer's boast
And PAP MOH probably not giving the press important data about which type of vaccine these 2 statistical digits were jabbed with
Because the truth should most appropriately make some heads roll
It's overdue for a reset
The truth should set us free
Most likely those who jabbed with inactivated vaccine unlikely to get infected by Omicron but can't say the same for those booster vax with mRNA shit
Song Boh?
