U.S. is now considering idea of a single vaccination shot, delaying shot #2 until months later. Last wk, I thought that was a bad idea – the trials that found 95% efficacy were 2 shots; why add extra complexity & a new curveball. But facts on the ground demand a rethink. (1/7)

Far better to have 100M people who are 80% protected than 50M people who are 95% protected, particularly as we are facing a foe that is getting smarter and nastier. Or at least it seems that way to me. You? (7/7)

But consider that healthcare workers are going to continue to get exposed to people who will not take mitigation steps. For healthcare to be safe for workers and patients, healthcare workers need fully vaccinated

"getting as many people (particularly high-risk) their first shot ASAP"--that same reasoning would have validly applied months ago.

I like that approach too. But we aren’t even getting shot # 1 out fast enough. It is a non-issue. I was hoping by now we would have used up the 20M doses, not even close for it to matter.

Last I heard reported yesterday was one shot only 53% effective. How’s that change your data?

No, as high risk, I want BOTH doses. Why should I potentially suffer more because other, less vulnerable people won't behave responsibly and put all of us at higher risk??

What we need is herd immunity. You can’t just protect yourself.
