Italy just entered its third lockdown and Merkel’s Germany, too, announced they will be delaying boosters like the UK—a strategy Europe mostly denounced back then. US is likely escaping this dilemma because we have unmatched supply and got B117 introductions later than Europe.

Problem with exponential threats is by the time scale of the problem is obvious, it’s too late. We got pretty solid data on higher transmissibility of B.1.1.7 late December. I don’t understand what happened with Europe’s decision makers. We have to vaccinate globally and quickly.

Yes, US should immediately release what AZ supplies we have. We have more than enough of the other three so time to move on that.https://twitter.com/ktsabini/status/1370839659421560834 …

Both the US and the UK botched many aspects of their pandemic response. But vaccination isn’t “one more tool” somehow equal or similar to the others in our toolkit. Make that happen, and things can improve quickly despite issues . Miss that? Things can tip back quickly.

Sadly, that has been a disaster! Very poor protection for oldest / most vulnerable and now abandoned anyway with differing periods below 12 weeks for the Pfizer. Most of improvement is still due to lockdown, vaccine effect pretty limited because of ineffective deployment.
