      I asked an infectious disease expert I know when things will be completely back to normal, as in flying on planes without masks back to normal. His answer: 2024.

      Will vary a lot, no, even from person to person? If you get a vaccine in January 2021, you can do almost everything (even presumably crossing borders by showing proof of vaccination)

      Vaccines are not 100% effective. They're exciting to governments because they slow diseases' spreads, but they're not a silver bullet for individuals.

          I think they would aim for 80% at first then growing in second generation. But if you have a 50% one I will take it

          I think I'll let some others take it first, see what interesting side effects come along with v1

          The flu shot is less effective some years and the shingles shot we used into 2017 was less effective. Why the high standard?

          Do we understand what factors lead to proper vaccine response and/or how to detect it? Theres a lot of interesting research showing bouts of prolonged fasting tear down and re-build the immune system. Often with a younger ratio of innate:adaptive lineage profile of immune cells.

          Tl;dr — I’d like my family to broadly be in the plane using cohort.
