      Interrupting your doomscrolling with more good news. As most had expected, the vaccines continue to work well against the new variants. Our problem remains producing enough of these amazing vaccines and getting them out there in arm. They are so good that we have a lot of buffer.https://twitter.com/KizzyPhD/status/1353703580679761922 …

      The neutralization teams have a message: "Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Retains Neutralizing Activity Against Emerging Variants First Identified in the U.K. and the Republic of South Africa" Sorry to those who I've been ignoring yin this regard for weeks lol https://twitter.com/moderna_tx/status/1353698953108353024?s=20 …

      Plus, mRNA vaccines have a really fast turnaround time—if and when we need to update. I'm seeing so many people with high anxiety over things that are not really happening or are not our actual problems. Our bottleneck is logistics and justice: producing enough for the world.

      There is a concept in sociology about institutional inertia: as things get better, it's really hard for people whose job was to work on making it better to adjust to the improvement. That's very human, and also not a bad thing: their job is to worry on our behalf. And be ready.

      For most of us, the best thing is to stop doomscrolling over detailed discussions about what drops in neutralizing antibody titers etc. mean from Twitter threads. We gotta get through the grim winter—up your cautions— but the news about the future has been really good for months.

      Seriously. Don't do this to yourself. The news, as it pertains to the future, has been *excellent* for months now. Up your cautions *now* to get through the worst of it—the winter—and let's work on increasing production and distribution of the vaccines. https://twitter.com/robo_tabby/status/1353714525309198336 …

      I'm seeing *a lot* of this doom interpretation. Really, stop it. Sterilizing immunity is not something we absolutely need from our vaccines and it's something that's not that clear cut and this interpretation (that we know there's none) isn't even true. https://twitter.com/HabberleySteve/status/1353721920362074115 …

      TY for speaking up on this. I can’t believe how many smart friends have said that they’re not excited about getting a vaccine “bc it doesn’t reduce transmission anyways” (which is false). The public health messaging has gotten v confused, I worry it will result in less vax uptake

          Even if you've had your #COVID19 #vaccine, it's important that you continue to follow national restrictions. We don't yet know if the vaccine prevents transmission - you could potentially still carry and transmit the virus to other vulnerable people, even if you are protected. pic.twitter.com/tOHfLLDL0R

          Yes, it's a problem. Smart people, some in healthcare were telling me this. I wish we could stay ahead of messaging needs instead of just reacting.

          Yep, they don’t want to promise anything and keep people wearing masks and social distancing so they message like these vaccines definitely don’t prevent transmission, when in actuality they look like they do, so of course now a lot of people don’t want to take them.

          I know many smart people confused in another way- they get vaxxed then think it means they are immediately and fully protected AND can’t pass it to others. They think it 100% prevents infection and transmission. They don’t realize what we know it MOST prevents is severe illness.

          Actually, I don't see that at much all, and it doesn't MOST prevent severe illness. The efficacy in preventing ANY illness is way higher, and it is also looking great for preventing infection, and will almost certainly blunt transmission greatly.
