      look, i get that clinical trials are hard. i really do. trust me on this. & i get that it's important to prioritize ones that are likely to produce results that are vitally important right now.

      but i'd say when random world gov'ts are trying this sort of stuff w/o a trial, b/c the situation is so dire *the entire medical system is about to collapse in London right now*, your hand is a bit forced. to say nothing of countries that can only afford 1 dose/person this year.

      because guess what? immunologically it makes sense that it would work. in fact, it stands to reason (& it's interesting comparing the immunologists/vaccinologists on my TL to the virologists) that it will work *better*.

      and if everyone's fears are realized & it doesn't? well here's some nice hard data to stop anyone else from trying this, from very early on in the world vaccination schedule, that's a heck of a lot more convincing if you need to stop someone like BoJo.

      a few final asides: if you seroconvert & class-switch to IgG that means you've had a T_{FH}/B-cell germinal center response, which means that yes, you have developed memory B cells to that antigen. which survive decades.

      i don't understand why i still keep hearing the whole "immunity fading" argument (and after TWELVE WEEKS?!? please show me an example of that in the literature, i tried really hard to find that the past two days w/no success).

      i thought after @jbloom_lab demonstrated that reinfection to HCoVs was due to *antigenic drift* & not like when CoV-specific memory B cells inexplicably decide to take a vacation that year, i'd stop hearing that repeated so often...

      ...particularly when it does not work this way for any other of our vaccines that are currently on the market. some references: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3947622/pdf/nihms-556211.pdf … / https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3947622/pdf/nihms-556211.pdf … / https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1074-7613(00)80541-5 … / https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa066092 … /https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2213050/ …

      Is there any other vaccine with a three week booster schedule? Most of what I know of recommends four weeks as a minimum. (I think Japanese encephalitis vaccine can be given with a shorter interval but it is also regularly given at four weeks).

      i tried really hard to find one that had a shorter minimum than 4 weeks & Japanese encephalitis was the only one i could find. that's minimum. absolutely nothing w/a recommend or a maximum less than a month. if anyone else knows of one, i'd be happy to hear about it!

      Yeah, me too. I looked high and low, and IXIARO for JE was the only one I found.
