I bet they had leaked this article to Wall st. yesterday and that's why we saw the markets rise sharply.

  Really? This doesn't look like good news to me. It's fairly positive on the effectiveness of boosters, but negative on the original doses. That would still suggest a COVID spread through the vaccinated population (the bulk of the population) with vastly less social distancing that the first year of the pandemic. The US and Europe will not get boosters to even 40% of the population before the new wave's peak.

    It's an assurance that the current vaccines work + less severe cases/fatality compared to other variants. Good enough for the bulls to stay bullish.

  The intense antagonism towards any criticism of the reality of corporate collusion with the news media and Wall Street on HN leaves me confused and depressed. The moment to have any critique against capitalism there is an invisible vocieless army of downvoters to suppress any chance for reality to invade the bubble of libertarianism on here. I get it, this is hosted on a capitalist funding platform, just do not pretend this is a refuge for inquiring thought. You really think this does not happen, that people on Wall Street do not get inside information before the rest of you suckers get it?

    It isn’t criticism. The comment is unsourced speculation. The stock market moves up and down all the time, so there are tons of other explanations for what happened yesterday and there was no effort to rule them out
