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 …

Is this just b/c bad news captures more attention? It was pretty clear this was not what those studies showed

I think it’s just a matter of politeness. That you recognize there is a pandemic. How can you be sure there isn’t some asshole coming at you that is just wanting to cough all over you?

Oh, and adding fuel to the fire. We had our first visit with a friend yesterday and had dinner outside and she was telling us how afraid and worried she is about the variants. She has been vaccinated, her parents have been vaccinated. My wife told her to shut off the news.

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).
