      If anyone is going to write about the latest Israel/variant study, I suggest noting: this informative thread by one of the co-authors; that it's actually excellent news; and that vaccine resistance is NOT analogous to antibiotic resistance (which seems to be a common conflation).https://twitter.com/SternLab/status/1380922920734711811 …

      In Israel, real-world evidence on VOCs and vaccine protection: Mainly, B.1.351 enriched in infected vaccinated individuals, but this is offset by lack of ability of this variant to spread. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.04.06.21254882v1 … @taliakustin @noamharel8 @ranbalicer @TelAvivUni More details:

      I've already been sent an alarming headline by a respectable organization, and see below.🙄 A co-author is on Twitter explaining it it, folks! Come on. FWIW, the study itself made me feel *better* about both the mRNA vaccines and the threat of B.1.351 (which we should track).pic.twitter.com/Z11qY0gv2d

      Here's a better headline, adding that the findings about vaccine breakthroughs (which we already knew would happen (duh!) about and should track by sequencing) are turning out to be really encouraging so far.https://twitter.com/notdred/status/1381297853855891462 …

      Feels like “zero cases beyond 14 days after the second dose” is being undersold tbh

      What on earth? Again, we should keep an eye on variants especially in those (yeay, rare!) vaccine breakthrough cases (which are known from the trials) but THAT STUDY WAS EXCELLENT NEWS OVERALL ON THAT ASPECT. These headlines are wildly misleading. h/t @TheHeidenatorpic.twitter.com/SakwpQJx7S

          The media got the allergy/vaccination thing wrong too. The warnings were specifically about anaphylaxis, but the media turned this into severe allergies/allergies, which is deterring some people. Even some vaccinators are being misled. Details matter. https://www.bmj.com/content/bmj/372/bmj.n120.full.pdf …

          Yes, I'm aware that the vaccine is exceeding expectations. But that's not news or click bait worth.
