Really important to note this. There may be the usual fears around B.1.617 because people will see a paper with "x-fold reduction in neutralizing antibodies" etc. Keep in mind that drop DOES NOT correspond even to reduced efficacy, let alone ability to prevent severe cases.https://twitter.com/VincentRK/status/1391869808858238979 …

In December, when
@michaelmina_lab and I called for *a trial* for delaying boosters, especially for younger populations, the upside was the potential to expand coverage quickly and globally. I'll always regret lack of such a trial/option. (And we both got harshly attacked, tbh).Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The oppositional types still saying "it's just the flu" but for the vaccinated living in highly-vaccinated areas, it's not even the flu anymore.

Sooner or later the virus will mutate to find its way around the vaccines; do we “Party like it’s 1999” or continue to mask up indoors while there is still community spread to help keep the mutation rate low?

Hopefully it’s later but we don’t know:https://twitter.com/jbloom_lab/status/1385664864765444098?s=20 …

So potentially a huge threat to children under 12 who are yet vaccine ineligible? We have an ISD in my county without a mask requirement and with fairly large confirmed and suspected positives each week. We no longer have a mask mandate for indoor businesses. This worries me.

You really need to be distinguishing between B.1.617.1 and B.1.617.2 now. Any experimental result that didn't distinguish between the two is basically out the window
