Prisons for the unvaccinated - media review 1) According to (https://bit.ly/3Io51gp) New Zealand's lawyers and human rights activists, some of the most vulnerable inmates could be at risk if two juvenile prison blocks in Christchurch and Hawke's Bay are closed to make way for quarantine facilities Covid. On Wednesday, juvenile prisoners in Christchurch were informed of a possible closure, which would move them to major prisons at various facilities across the country, and a government decree says it is necessary to make room for the Covid unvaccinated. And they are working on options. 2) Scientists believe the Omicron Covid strain is very strange (https://bit.ly/3Dy0lAS). It is known about the "omicron" that it carries 50 mutations, most of which are in the spike protein of the virus. The spike protein, which gives the viral particle the shape of the crown, is needed to penetrate human cells, and it is in this place that most neutralizing antibodies bind. That is why the omicron raises concerns. 3) A scientific article published in the journal "Vaccines" (https://bit.ly/3lKs4Ix), which states, among other things, that universal vaccination is accelerating the emergence of new strains of coronavirus. It becomes obvious that under conditions of increasing herd immunity developed as a result of the past disease and vaccination, the number of SARS-CoV-2 variants with mutations in RBD and S protein will rapidly increase. 4) In the world, not a single fatal case has been recorded as a result of infection with a new strain of COVID-19 "omicron". This was reported (https://bit.ly/3pCw5j4) at the World Health Organization (WHO). 5) Virologist, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, creator of the Sputnik V vaccine, head of the cell proliferation laboratory at the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology, Pyotr Chumakov, said that the omicron coronavirus strain may turn out to be a live vaccine, since it has a reduced pathogenicity, and after recovery the patient develops immunity even to disease-causing variants of infection (https://bit.ly/3Ex5ZEp). 6) A project has been launched with the WHO database on the side effects of all vaccines in the world by the name: http://www.vigiaccess.org 7) The spread of a new strain of coronavirus in the United States is causing serious concern among experts and ordinary Americans. The identification of the omicron in the country has led to the fact that the demand for vaccinations and revaccinations among residents has increased sharply to the highest level in recent months, reports ABC News (https://bit.ly/3rDrsYW). 8) From this week to mid-January, Italians who have not been vaccinated against COVID will face tough new restrictions. They will not be able to visit museums, theaters and restaurants, as well as use public transport or stay in hotels, according to The Evening Standard (https://bit.ly/3Dqzw1q). According to the publication, the authorities of the European country hope that with the help of these strict measures they will be able to reduce the burden on the health care system in the winter.
