    Provincetown was a worse case scenario from what I can tell—week of overcrowded, indoors and close-contact— and also really unlucky (remember how one South Korean infected maybe 5000+ in 2020?). But many were vaccinated. Result: it’s over. No deaths. Very very few severe illness.https://twitter.com/ashishkjha/status/1421183212290813954 …

    I know I sound like a broken record But here's the thing The vaccines are largely working as expected We had an outbreak in P-town with lots of vaccinated folks infected No one died. Very few got sick And things have returned to normal This is how vaccines work folks https://twitter.com/AlexBMorse/status/1421139894257266691 …

        Yes. It’s clearly one of the worst-case scenarios we’ve encountered. And it showed how well the vaccines work. That’s why it’s so useful as long as we put it in the correct context.https://twitter.com/EldrichMatt/status/1421467815752736774 …

        That's kind of the point. Provincetown is so atypical that it is your worst case scenario.

        But these events in Low vaccinated areas will not taper our so quickly. See Ozark wave, which still hasn’t crested and is overwhelming hospitals.

        There are 2 Covids going on right now. One with the vaccinated and one with the unvaccinated. One is somewhat worse than the other one.

        But how would the Provincetown scenario have changed if there had also been unvaccinated little kids exposed? That seems like the key open question, no?

        The CDC had a chance to message around this and instead they went full bed wetter. It’s time for new leadership.
