      Pourquoi en Suisse on n’a jamais sérieusement discuté de l’espacement des deux doses de vaccins? Woran liegt es, dass in der Schweiz nie eine ernsthafte Diskussion über den Abstand der beiden Impfdosen stattgefunden hat?https://twitter.com/vincentglad/status/1378413541271687170 …

      Un article publié dans Nature Review Immunology relance le débat autour de l'espacement entre les deux doses de vaccin. Les chercheurs, dont l'éminent épidémiologiste @mlipsitch, soutiennent que les craintes d'échappement immunitaire sont infondées. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-021-00544-9 …

      The "first doses first" debate took place on Twitter at the end of December last year - also in Switzerland It got pretty heated (to put it mildly). For this debate, the Twitter format didn't seem to work IMO - my Tweets included, which were probably too emotional

      Also Prof. Eckerle pointed in that direction in February, yet now reaction in Bern https://twitter.com/eckerleisabella/status/1366126283596455936 …. Actually it was @zeynep who started the debate in autumn.

      Auch ich war zunächst skeptisch bezüglich verlängerter Impfintervalle, die inzwischen extrem guten Daten nach der 1. Impfung haben mich aber inzwischen überzeugt. Und ja, wir brauchen rasch eine Lösung um durch die nächsten Wochen zu kommen #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 kommen. Und #NoCovid https://twitter.com/Karl_Lauterbach/status/1366104654006939659 …

      I co-proposed (an adaptive) trial where we'd delay booster in a carefully-monitored way, able to stop if negative signal, and despite some leading virologist/immunologist saying that was totally fine, some reacted as if it were anti-science. So here we are, without clearer data.

      Yes, that's the way to do it IMO. Postpone, collect data & be willing to admit if postponing worsens situation Important: communicate this! Finally: If you're against this, state your assumption on how much deviating will lower trust/vaxx takeup & increase escape mutation prob

      UK delayed boosters on basis of their scientific committee’s recommendations, very high uptake and plummeting cases. Europe (media and social media especially) trash-talked this as unscientific, ended up delaying anyway, among other things, and high hesitancy rates and in crisis.

          Rather than primarily trying to predict public reaction, and preresponding to it, there should be reasoned decisions explained well, imo.
