The following is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that has yet to be certified by peer review.

A study in monkeys pitting the current Moderna COVID-19 booster against an Omicron-specific booster showed no significant differences in protection, suggesting an Omicron-specific booster may not be needed, US government researchers reported on Friday. The study involved monkeys vaccinated with two doses of Moderna’s vaccine who were dosed nine months later with either the conventional Moderna booster or one specifically targeting the Omicron variant. The researchers tested various aspects of the animals’ immune responses and exposed them to the virus. They found both boosters produced “comparable and significant increases in neutralizing antibody responses” against all of the variants of concern,…

The Karachi Kings have not been having the best time in this year’s PSL — after three consecutive losses, the fourth game came with the added pressure to perform well but after encountering another loss, critics have gained leverage. Captain Babar Azam is facing backlash for not playing well after the loss against Peshawar Zalmi but Azam fans are quick to jump to his defence and claim that a captain can’t do it all alone. They said he’s been carrying the team on his own and that’s certainly not one man’s responsibility. Pakistani Twitter is overflowing with the Azam debate…

KARACHI: The runs must have bolstered Babar Azam’s already-impressive Twenty20 average but they couldn’t inspire Karachi Kings to their first victory in the ongoing edition of the HBL Pakistan Super League. In an unbeaten 90 off 63 balls, Babar played 17 dots as the Kings fell nine runs short to Peshawar Zalmi here at the National Stadium on Friday. Babar’s Pakistan team-mate Shoaib Malik’s innings, made the difference though. His unbeaten 52 powered Zalmi to 173-4 and he returned to dismiss Kings dangerman Sharjeel Khan in the first over of their innings. The evergreen Malik also took two excellent catches…
