US stocks SINK as Fed Reserve warns threat of “persistently higher inflation” has grown - thanks to Omicron

Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell warned the Senate Banking Committee that inflation problems exacerbated by the Omicron variant could plague the US economy well into next year.

His comments notably deviated from his usual assessment that high inflation - already at a 31-year high - is transitory, sending the Dow Jones plunging 1.4%.

European markets and Tokyo’s Nikkei also dropped 1.5-1.6% after Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel saying existing vaccines would be less effective against Omicron than against Delta variants.

ANALYSIS: The genomic sequence of the “Omicron” variant has the most # mutations out of all the SARS-COV-2 virus variants, yet the closest ancestor of it was Jan 2020 which is one of the original Wuhan strains. 🤔

All other variants, such as Delta, have gone though gradual mutations over time since the pandemic began.

Triple-vaccinated Israeli doctor infects another triple-vaccinated Israeli doctor with Omicron COVID variant; confirmed cases in Israel rise to 4

“Two doctors tested positive for the Omicron COVID-19 variant, the Sheba Medical Center announced Tuesday, doubling the number of known cases of the new virus strain in Israel.

Both of the doctors work at the hospital outside of Tel Aviv and one of them had recently returned from a conference in London. That doctor then came in close contact with their colleague, likely infecting them, Sheba said, noting that both had received three doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine and were only experiencing mild symptoms.”

More Detail: Federal judge blocks Biden vaccine mandate for health care workers nationwide

“Judge Terry A. Doughty in the U.S. District Court Western District of Louisiana ruled in favor of a request from Republican Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry to block an emergency regulation issued Nov. 4 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that required the COVID shot for nearly every full-time employee, part-time employee, volunteer, and contractor working at a wide range of healthcare facilities receiving Medicaid or Medicaid funding.

Doughty argued in his ruling that the Biden administration does not have the constitutional authority to go around Congress by issuing such a mandate.”

FDA panel narrowly recommends authorization of first antiviral pill to treat Covid-19

“The expert panel voted 13-10 that the pill, called molnupiravir, should be authorized, although members expressed concerns that, if used in pregnancy it could cause birth defects.

During the panel, discussions frequently turned to whether or not panelists trusted the effectiveness data on the drug.”

Final efficacy results showed “a 30% decrease, or a 3% absolute difference in hospitalization in the full population.”

Maternal COVID-19 Vaccination and Its Potential Impact on Fetal and Neonatal Development

“A widely cited preliminary study of the V-safe and Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data suggested that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were safe for pregnant women; however, errors were found in their analysis, and a follow-up re-analysis of the data revealed a cumulative incidence of spontaneous abortion of 7–8 times higher than the original author’s calculations, which was statistically higher than the typical average for pregnancy loss during the equivalent time period.”

Unvaccinated? Starting today you won’t be able to board a plane, train in Canada

“Unvaccinated travellers over the age of 12 won’t be able to board a plane or passenger train in Canada beginning today, and a negative COVID-19 test will no longer serve as a substitute for most people.

The policy came into effect on Oct. 30, but the federal government allowed a short transition period for unvaccinated travellers who could board as long as they provided a negative molecular COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before their trip.”
