      Something to worry about (trial showing drop in efficacy) Waiting for full paper. (Small sample, don't know about severe disease, which is key). Today we also learned Pfizer looks to be effective against that variant. We're gonna need boosters. (Novavax already working on one).https://twitter.com/JBDavis2/status/1354942205291585546 …

      I’m a big proponent for mental health and this is going to be tough news for those struggling right now.

      It's not terrible! It's about 90% efficacious in UK, thus including UK variant, and even with South Africa it is effective (even though it is lower) and may well be cutting severe disease significantly (which is what matters most). We'll look at the paper when it comes out.

          It is terrible. Flights are at historical lows and so are interpersonal contacts, and still the variants are crossing borders and spreading like wildfire. Variants will always prevail. That 90% is completely worthless now. If the vaccine turned out to cause significant>

          debilitating disease, we'd still be crushed by its weight. After this spring, I'm pretty sure anti-restrictionism could grow to a popularity that will make containment impossible. I've always tried to be optimistic, but this is just the last of a long series of short straws.

          > may well be cutting severe disease significantly (which is what matters most). We'll look at the paper Seems like we really ought to focus on just 2 metrics for vax efficacy vs. all variants: 1) Impact on severe disease 2) Impact on transmission What else matters, really?
