Let me be honest. The sentiment is nice, but there is little chance that billions will be able to avoid getting infected FOR EVEN ANOTHER YEAR, let alone two, while waiting for vaccines. Increasing the supply NOW is the key. Otherwise, the pandemic will end, but with more deaths.https://twitter.com/noahweiland/status/1402685889835307014 …

I have friends and family all over the world, and I told all of them: take whatever you get the moment it's offered. That shot is the biggest line between you and death/severe illness. There much more to this, obviously, and increasing supply is key. But that line is very real.

Yes, ideally, we increase supply of the highest efficacy ones. Maybe AZ prime/mRNA booster can be considered, as
@dylanhmorris was pointing out—fits the shape of the supply better. Maybe subunit ones are easier to scale up production. But this is key: time is of the essence here.Show this thread -
I’ll repeat what I wrote last month in the context of my oped warning about the Delta variant: The pandemic will end, now sooner because of it, with billions becoming exposed to this virus via infection or vaccination. We have an urgent moral responsibility to make it the latter.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1398266149532573705 …

And if self interest is the only thing that gets us off our asses to help - every single one of those billions - is a potential variant factory just waiting to happen.

So perhaps you and your colleagues here could craft messaging to persuade vax-hesistant communities, as in Alabama and Mississippi, yes? Time to think outside the box?

From
I listened to NYS launch fireworks across the Niagara River Tueaday night as they reopen. Statewide pop. 51 % fully vax and 58 % one dose.
Delta is 5% + in NYC. I am concerned. Meanwhile in
people are picking and choosing between mRNA vaccines. Hmmm.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It’s nothing less than criminal and the US has the nerve to give itself a pat on the back for *donating* 500M doses.

Agree. Global cases may be about to turn up again, and Delta likely contributes.pic.twitter.com/EJ9Doc4uWa

Yes, that's really unfair that some are disadvantaged in the Darwin Awards World Olympiads...

Welcome to
#SouthAfrica where authorities boast that we have 2 million plus doses going on 3 million yet struggle to vaccinate more than 80 000 per day.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
