OK this might be too inside baseball, but... It’s the kinetics! Delta’s issue is the kinetics! Anyway.

forgive me ignorance, but is this why moderna has a better rate -- larger dose, dosed further apart?
-
likely; the solution to faster replication is to have higher circulating levels of antibodies (which can respond instantly, unlike B-cells which take time to ramp up antibody production) and it does seem like Moderna maybe keeps a higher antibody titre for longer

So are you saying it can get around the vaccine? Or at least, there's a higher risk of infection vs alpha when vaxxed? (I'm very pro-vax, just really don't want a breakthrough.)
-
this is probably why breakthroughs are more common with Delta, but it doesn't mean the vaccine doesn't work at all; the immune system *does* respond, just too slow to reliably prevent infection; once it does respond it will clear the virus p quickly, preventing severe disease
