I understand why we did an each-state-does-their-own-thing policy until now. But the administration should immediately implement a national strategy of geographic prioritizing. We already have federal sites in many states, and we have the vaccine supply. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/03/fourth-surge-variant-vaccine/618463/ …pic.twitter.com/uYLiDAPoWd

David EggertVerified account @DavidEggert00On a call between governors & the White House today, Gov. Whitmer asked whether the White House has considered surging additional vaccine quantity to states with rapidly increasing case rates like Michigan. WH coronavirus coordinator Jeff Zients said everything is on the table.11 replies 32 retweets 280 likesShow this thread -

Yes. The current risk is that the efficacy of the vaccines—which is great news!—will overshadow the very real vulnerability of those who are left behind, and are now facing yet another surge exactly as we open things up.https://twitter.com/AlexJamesFitz/status/1377072149945548800 …

Reminder there is a lot of good news! My article above talks about this study she's referencing. (I haven't seen the full clip, but this excerpt is a wee bit overstated. Data showed 90% reduction in *any* infection—thus transmission—which is excellent).https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1376950399232573442 …

Another important consideration. One thing that can accompany a targeted vaccine surge is temporary OSHA guidelines protecting the yet unvaccinated (there are many!) essential workers. Surge+time limit+so much good news+money subsidy could make this work.https://twitter.com/wsbgnl/status/1377059878422765573 …

wsbgnl @wsbgnlReplying to @zeynep @gregggonsalvesI think it’s hard to tell what’s feasible when the public health community isn’t openly debating all the options, and there is no pressure on elected officials to take action or face accountability for inaction. Minimum, we need temporary OSHA standards.2 replies 21 retweets 86 likesShow this thread -

I agree. I think we should have concrete and empirical benchmark-driven timelines. I write "a little bit more" because I'm not in charge (but I can see where things are going) but we should have the endgame spelled out for the public.https://twitter.com/natem42/status/1377275758972792834 …

Bad news: B.1.1.7 is already established as more transmissible & increasing evidence that it's also more lethal. Good news: our vaccines work very well against it. Potential tragedy, outlined in my article: we don't respond quickly. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/03/fourth-surge-variant-vaccine/618463/ … https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1377358072314654720 …pic.twitter.com/eqPi7cG3GN

What do you think of switching to the UK system of delaying second shots (maybe not for 65+) to speed up spread of protection, especially in high caseload areas?

Replying to @zeynep @THAToneil
Big Yes, especially since we now know that a single shot of Pfizer/Moderna gives something like 80% efficacy against the virus (2 weeks post-vax) -- that's HUGE.
