      ALERT Very strong study out of Boston raises deep concerns about #COVID19 #vaccines (@pfizer & @moderna_tx ) versus some of the variant #SARSCoV2 mutants. This is a large, exhaustive study. The highlights are: MOREhttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.02.14.21251704v1 …

      2/ Taking just one dose of either vaccine? VERY bad idea. A 30-fold lower virus-fighting capacity with 1 dose. The UK B.1.1.7 variant isn't a vax problem. BUT the P1 (Brazil), P2 (Japan) variants --20-fold decrease in vax efficacy. The SoAfrican (B1351) -- 100-fold decrease. MORE

      3/ What we are looking at is "vaccine resistance" -- it's akin to antibiotic resistance that can be so strong in some bacteria that they are 100% incurable infections. In this study, the spectre of #COVID19 #vaccines being rendered useless looms -- NOT assured, but ominous.

          This seems like dangerous messaging in light of Americans already having concerns about getting vaccinated. Many will think, “What’s the point?” But if the UK variant becomes dominant, it still seems extremely important that people get jabbed.

          Those numbers are for a double-does, or a single dose?

          It is no longer clear to me what my individual response and responsibility is to this news. I am now completely vaxed. Should I continue my hermit life and assume the worst or should I encourage others to get vaxed? Did I make a big mistake?

          Your vaccination is still highly effective for all but the African variant. And even then it's still effective. A booster at some point in the future will likely be needed though. The good thing is refactoring the vaccine for variants is easy and can be done quickly.

          The vaccines work fine against severe disease.
