      I have never seen this specific numeric framing before. It's really striking and speaks not only to why prioritizing age is important, but just how much hospital/death reduction we should expect to see _early on_ in the vax campaign.https://twitter.com/BauerJournalism/status/1365042324598906883 …

      Arwady: Vaccinating older people has the biggest impact in preventing COVID-19 deaths, regardless of underlying conditions. You only have to vaccinate 49 people 80+ to prevent one COVID death. Expand that to people 18-29 and you'd have to vaccinate 17,000+ to save one life. pic.twitter.com/M5qnpgmnOP

      A longer take on one of the same points: Things are likely to get much, much better very rapidly in the next few months. What then? Prep for even more rapid booster deployment for an escape variant? Just have fun? What will the "follow on" issues be?https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1365316957742972932 …

      I mean, alternatively we can repeat February of 2020?😢 Wait till problems do hit us with their full-force, when they are much harder to address as opposed to timely, early action and planning? Total fingers crossed we won't of course, but these things happen if we act, not wait.

          I suppose the most obvious follow-on concern is that things will get much better soon (via vaccination) for only a minority of the world's population. There's an urgent moral obligation to extend that benefit to everyone. (And a selfish motive as well, to prevent escape variants)

          Other speculation(s): 1) We become injection/administration constrained rather than supply constrained, slowing uptake. 2) Hesitancy alone is enough to keep the virus smoldering in the US, even with a substantial protected population.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1365333392439533570 …

          The point here is that, yes, things will get much better for many—and sooner than we seem to have internalized—but there will also be very real but different challenges, too, and will play out under a very different political and epidemiological climate. https://twitter.com/iansmcleod/status/1365328779388743681 …

          My vote: Vaccine developers, virologists: monitor, prepare boosters Governments: share and purchase vaccines for LMIC Vaccinated public: just have fun, other than advocate for above
