New drugs and booster boom – that’s what makes Corona Christmas hope – domestic politics

by time news

Almost two gloomy years of the corona pandemic and always new horror reports and horror scenarios – but now for the festival: Christmas miracle reports that give hope in the dark omicron times!

Happy news from the island

Promising research results are coming from Great Britain, where the Omikron variant of the Corona virus has been raging for two weeks longer: Omikron is far safer than its predecessor Delta.

▶︎ Unvaccinated people have a 24 percent lower risk of having to go to hospital!

SPD Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (58) told BILD that he could not give the all-clear due to the higher transferability. BUT: “The result of the English study is good news!”

Miracle pill from the USA

▶ ︎ The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is bringing the next magic medicine to the market after Viagra – a remedy that is given as soon as the first symptoms of corona occur. “Paxlovid” throttles the replication of the viruses. It is taken at home twice a day for five days in combination with another preparation.

According to Pfizer, the result: the risk of being admitted to the clinic is reduced by 90 percent!

In the USA, the FDA has now issued emergency approval for high-risk patients aged twelve and over. The EU authority EMA is checking the approval. In Germany, due to the low delivery capacity, it is initially intended to be administered primarily to people over the age of 60.

US President Joe Biden (79) speaks of a game changer – a tool that changes everything. The same applies to the “Lagevrio” pill from Merck (USA).

▶ ︎Best news: Germany has already secured contingents for all companies researching corona funds!

Vaccine for skeptics

Hundreds of thousands of vaccine skeptics in Germany have been waiting for it: dead vaccine. Now the first so-called dead vaccine has been approved: Novavax (US manufacturer).

▶︎ Germany has also pre-ordered it: 4 million vaccine doses are to come from January. The hope: Many people who have been vaccinated could now be given the spades!

Booster-Boom

The goal of the federal government: 30 million booster vaccinations by the end of the year! Now one thing is certain: It can be something!

According to statutory health insurance physicians, 25.066 million booster vaccinations have been administered since November 14th (17.3 million in medical practices). Since the start of the booster in October it has been: almost 30 million.

Health Minister Lauterbach proudly told BILD: “Nobody in Europe can achieve a booster speed like Germany.” He sees “the great hope” in this.
