    As smoking guns go, this study is high-caliber. and Chinese researchers showed that the spike protein - the one the vaccines make you produce - can all by itself cause major damage to the walls of blood vessels.

    INCREASE QUARANTINES? A study suggests that UK variant may remain in human hosts nearly 2x as long as non-B.1.1.7 , extending the potential contagious period from about 8 days to 13 days. This also helps explain great transmission of B117.🧵

    A modeling study of vaccine strategies reports receiving one dose of a two-dose vaccine decreases infections in the short-term if it produces a strong immune response, but may increase potential for “escape” mutations if one-dose immunity is weak

    Do NOT skip your second dose -- essential in the battle against variants.

    Reinforced the need for 2nd dose vs B.1.1.7 1 dose only 58% protection against infection, 78% reduced hospitalization, 77% reduction of deaths (Similar to the report today from Qatar, mRNA vaccine vs B.1.1.7 and B.1.351; variants and need for 2 doses go hand-in-hand)

    New preprint 📢 We deep seq’d and found within-host diversity is limited and rarely transmitted & transmission bottlenecks are narrow → slows the pace of emergence in *acute* infxs. We need to 👀 carefully at long-term infxs. 🧵 1/12 ⬇️

    Another smart thread, this time on the variants' race in the USA, with P.1 (Brazil) rising faster than B1.1.7 (UK) -- which could be a big problem if people don't hurry up and get vaccinated.

    Just as we can decompose the US epidemic into a B.1.1.7 epidemic and a non-B.1.1.7 epidemic, we can further partition by variants of concern B.1.1.7, B.1.351 and P.1, where it's clear that P.1 has been gaining ground. 1/13
