Think the reading by which B.1.1.7 can be considered to prolong is it means more immunity required, and NPIs needed for longer. But otherwise agree

Yeah but not communicated clearly. Also, I get the "herd immunity threshold higher" point but.. that's also complicated by vaccine efficacy, plus given supply shortage and political moment/fatigue globally, in reality, it's going to mean "more infections, more quickly".

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Pfizer release data that their vaccine is definitely effective against b135? Nobody is talking about this.

There were only six B.1.351 cases in the placebo group, not enough to prove much. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-pfizer/pfizer-biontech-covid-19-shot-91-effective-in-updated-data-protective-against-south-african-variant-idUSKBN2BO55Y …pic.twitter.com/EIKFrD354V

It’s super interesting and obviously very relevant. Yet utterly missing from the “oh noes vaccines are useless against the SA variant” (which is obviously not what has been shown whatsoever but alas) message that’s now spreading.
