“Our expectation is that the acute phase of this pandemic will end this year, of course with one condition, the 70 percent vaccination [target is achieved] by mid this year around June, July. If that is to be done, the acute phase can really end, and that is what we are expecting. It's in our hands. It's not a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice.”

“The pandemic is moving into a different phase … We think that we're moving now, especially with the vaccination expected to increase, into what might become a kind of endemic living with the virus. Against the odds, including huge inequities in access to vaccinations, we've weathered the COVID-19 storm with resilience and determination.”

“Based on data from Denmark, the first country where BA.2 overtook BA.1, there appears to be no difference in disease severity, although BA.2 has the potential to replace BA.1 globally. Looking at other countries where BA.2 is now overtaking, we're not seeing any higher bumps in hospitalization than expected. The subvariant is already becoming dominant in the Philippines, Nepal, Qatar, India and Denmark. Vaccination is profoundly protective against severe disease, including for Omicron. BA.2 is rapidly replacing BA.1. Its impact is unlikely to be substantial, although more data are needed.”

“There is a certain level of COVID-related mortality that the society is willing to accept. Individually, there is a certain level of COVID-related risk one is willing to accept, to balance against what one has to pay for it, in terms of social distancing plus vaccination. Asians may be valuing life over freedom, if culture matters at all. Maybe because we don't have the strong memory of civil revolutions risking life for freedom.”

“The lower hospitalization rate is likely due to two things: greater immunity among the public from vaccines and prior coronavirus infection, and that omicron might be slightly less severe than delta. Vaccines don't stop infections with omicron, but they do reduce the risk of hospitalization by about 70% - with a booster shot, that figure is even higher. If you're a person who has no immunity at all, no vaccination and no prior infection or your prior infection was a year and a half ago and it was mild, you're not out of the woods. There is a reasonable chance that you will get very sick with omicron.”

“When you are talking about a New Year's Eve party, where you have 30, 40, 50 people celebrating, you do not know the status of the vaccination - I would recommend strongly, stay away from that this year. There will be other years to do that, but not this year.”

“We're now at a point of having more than a billion doses a month of vaccines being produced, but it's a slow trickle still to get to low-income countries and lower middle-income countries. So we have not solved the supply challenge by any means, but we are closer to solving it than we ever have been. Looking forward to 2022 I think the entire game is really going to be about vaccination. So how do we get from airports to arms? How do we convert vaccines to vaccinations? I think we are woefully under-resourced and under-prepared for that … There's good progress to build from but much, much more work to do and financing gaps in the billions if not tens of billions of dollars.”

“There are still limited data on the clinical severity of Omicron. More data are needed to understand the severity profile and how severity is impacted by vaccination and pre-existing immunity. There are still limited available data, and no peer-reviewed evidence, on vaccine efficacy or effectiveness to date for Omicron.”

“As school holidays approach, we must also acknowledge that children contaminate their parents and grandparents at home. Those groups are 10 times more likely to develop severe disease, be hospitalised or - if unvaccinated - die. The use of mask and ventilation and regular testing should be a standard at all primary schools. And vaccinating children should be discussed and considered nationally as part of school protection measures. Vaccination of younger children not only reduces their role in Covid-19 transmission, but also protects them from paediatric severity whether associated with long Covid or multi-system, inflammatory syndromes.”

“We've overcome crises multiple times so far, but we are now having another crisis as another level. The number of new patients, critical patients and deaths are all increasing, and we are running short of hospital beds. If we fail to overcome this crisis, our attempt to return to normality may gradually fail. We need more vigilance and a united response more than ever. The urgent task is to have people get their third shots as soon as possible. We need to change the perception that the third shot is additional, to making it basic, and getting this third shot constitutes full vaccination.”

“It is hard to say that the global effort in fighting against coronavirus has gone up in smoke. Two weeks of data and lab materials are needed to make a precise judgment of the new variant. The vaccination rate in South Africa, where the new variant caused a jump in infection, is very low, with just 24 percent of fully vaccinated individuals. If the situation [in South Africa] occurred in Israel [where more than 80 percent are vaccinated], then undoubtedly, we would say the world is facing another round of a tough COVID-19 fight.”

“In the absence of mass vaccination, Covid is not only spreading uninhibited among unprotected people but is mutating, with new variants emerging out of the poorest countries and now threatening to unleash themselves on even fully vaccinated people in the richest countries of the world.”

“Although we are preparing for the new normal based on the increased vaccination rate, many uncertainties lie ahead. The envisioned new normal may not be exactly the same as the pre-COVID-19 normalcy, but the transition to a new era where the country is more prepared against the threat of the pandemic is inevitable.”

“The U.K. is an outlier, because it does have quite high coverage of vaccination - and is still having 45,000 cases per day. Yet after Britain marked 'freedom day' in July, it was to be expected that there would be a persistence of transmission as opposed to other countries which have maintained much more stringent preventive measures.”

“Unfortunately, today we only have confrontation. We need to re-establish a functional relationship between the two powers. [The relations is] essential to address the problems of vaccination, the problems of climate change and many other global challenges that cannot be solved without constructive relations within the international community and mainly among the superpowers. We need to avoid at all cost a cold war that would be different from the past one, and probably more dangerous and more difficult to manage.”

“We, healthcare professionals, are not against the vaccination, and the vast majority of the unvaccinated have not yet had the vaccine because of fear. What we are against is compulsory vaccination, and we believe that the state should set up committees to talk face to face with employees and convince them to vaccinate.”

“Canada is doing better not because we are trying any less than they are trying. It's because in Canada you don't have that divisiveness of people not wanting to get vaccinated, in many respects, on the basis of ideology and political persuasion. I mean, political differences are totally understandable and a natural part of the process in any country. But when it comes to a public health issue, in which you're in the middle of a deadly pandemic and the common enemy is the virus, it just doesn't make any sense.... That's a public health issue. That's not political. That's not ideological. It's a public health issue.”
