TL;DR: A history of breastfeeding was associated with a reduced risk of many diseases in infants and mothers from developed countries and cluster randomized controlled studies on the effectiveness of various breastfeeding promotion interventions will provide further opportunity to investigate any disparity in health outcomes as a result of the intervention.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that BA.4/BA.5 escape is similar to BA.1 in the absence or presence of previous vaccination as well as from vaccination without BA.5.

TL;DR: Low absolute neutralization levels for BA.4 and BA.5, particularly in the unvaccinated group, are unlikely to protect well against symptomatic infection, and may indicate that the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-lineage has potential to result in a new infection wave.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors measured the neutralization capacity against variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in 39 individuals in South Africa infected with the Omicron sublineage BA.1 starting at a median of 6 (interquartile range 3-9) days post symptom onset and continuing until last follow-up sample available.
