      I don't think this is the first demonstration of this? There was: similar Moderna results in December and Israeli data from last week *and* these results were already reported in December in the Lancet?

      Article appears updated, thank you! (Previous version on the right). Do check the thread above—we've had both evidence and scientific reasons to believe that the vaccines would reduce transmission since December—quantifying how much needed more data and we're getting that, too).pic.twitter.com/XKAa1YZq9S

          Current public narrative about vaccines reducing transmission almost seems like an echo of the early narrative around masks... "We haven't thoroughly studied this yet" gets overinterpreted into "let's assume the negative and emphasize that to the public."

          The question of sterilizing immunity is huge: no herd immunity without it. There's reasonable doubt for respir. infx vax. It also means people can infect unvax contacts. And it means some mandates, acrimony, and shaming will be out of place if there's no sterilizing immunity.
