What this data shows is that protecting already vaccinated people from infection is a really bad idea.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1468347730133192708 …

Post Covid vaccination elderly & immunocompromised people face comparable risks from Covid as they have faced their entire lives… And again, who is saying there is “great harm of vaccines”?

I have no idea what she's talking about. For the record,
@zeynep, Eli and I are both vaccinated. I believe so much in the power of vaccines that at this point there should be no more harmful and useless NPIs when this PI is far more effective. - Show replies

okay, so just to be clear, you're in favor of immediately and unconditionally ending all society-wide NPIs? you're just saying that you want the vulnerable to get vaccinated?

Not really sure where the argument is here. I'm in the camp that says the days of mandated NPIs are over. Vaccines (and newer antiviral treatments) are the answer. Those especially vulnerable will have to take more precautions. There is just no way around that.

Hopefully, antiviral treatments will help immunocompromised people for whom vaccines do not help. This study from 2015 on a different virus shows antiviral treatments generally do work for immunocompromised patients.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25273082/

Nobody here is arguing against vaccines or boosters! But I see absolutely no reason to keep delaying. Now we’re approaching the point where it becomes “okay, we delayed for two years and need to delay a bit more so that we can keep delaying.” Resources not restrictions.

Your argument against these science-denying unvaccinated vaccine-refusers in your head is quite compelling, but maybe now that that’s out of your system, could you address the actual concerns of people like
@TheEliKlein and@TheNickFoy here?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I’m college prof boosted & ready 2 take as many shots as needed but many folks I know resist. It’s not just political (some), disinformation (yep) but I believe they’ve reached their emotional limits. Suspect there’ll be others in yr 3 of
#COVID like them. Must consider this, too -
Yes, Zeynep & the “intelligentsia” may not realize this, but they’re dealing with human beings, not NPCs in a video game.

Not great, but not as catastrophic as it could have been. Tested with 2x Pfizer, and shows, yeah, it'll cause a lot of breakthroughs. Those with vaccine *and* infection appeared much more protected: suggests boosters will work well.
