      The mRNA vaccine trials with exceptional 95% efficacy tested 2 doses. When @zeynep & @michaelmina_lab wrote a @nytopinion oped about the single-dose hypothesis, it created a twitter stir. @hholdenthorp has a great editorial on that today @ScienceMagazine https://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6526/213/tab-pdf …pic.twitter.com/JlxiegcXee

      A blast from the past, what, a decade ago?🙂We merely called for a trial & not holding back doses in freezer & got the "twitter stir". *record scratch* WHO says six week delay is OK and UK goes with 12 weeks. Biden administration says not holding back second dose. No trial.😢

          Very nice piece, though, thank you Holden! I agree there is no "let's not debate" with any of this, but I still deeply wish we had launched a trial. If we're facing unpleasant trade-offs, the least worst way to proceed seems to be gathering as much data as possible to guide us.

          The snag with extending the dose interval in delivery, untested in a RCT trial, is that people like me end up being the guinea pigs with only a choice between 1 dose and long interval (already discussing extending it further “12 weeks or more” or no dose.

          I have no expertise/opinion on the efficacy of a single dose, but I think there are some shadings of policy/scheduling. My understanding is that the Biden admin is not proposing a trial because they are confident that everyone will still get a 2nd dose on time.
