A nice summary of the key findings can be found in today's Nature news nature.com/articles/d4158…
Happy to share that the final version of our @Nature paper on the shifts in global distribution of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 virus is out. rdcu.be/doT6Y

I haven’t seen all the data, but I trust the call. Vaccinated people are likely safe enough from #Covid19 to unmask. But for the last year I have been haunted by the autopsy of a 4 yo. He still wouldn’t be safe today. So I’ll keep my mask handy and take it slow.
NEW: CDC study finds Pfizer/Moderna vaccines are not only effective against symptoms, but also 90% effective against coronavirus infection
"So, is COVID-19 vaccination safe during pregnancy? The data so far suggest that it is and, given the increased risks associated with COVID-19 in pregnancy, many pregnant people have decided to accept the vaccine."

Nice article from the New York Times explaining efficacy numbers of available COVID vaccines nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Globally, we’re facing a severe COVID-19 vaccine shortage. Dose-sparing strategies could save lives. An argument against these strategies is that they might increase vaccine escape. We think these evolutionary impacts deserve a closer look, and could actually go the other way.
Introducing stabilizing prolines plus removing the polybasic cleavage site of spike results in an optimal antigen. This is the design used by J&J and Novavax. With @FatimaAmanat @Shirin_Strohm @Raveenratvir @Virusnerdette @mschotsaert mbio.asm.org/content/12/2/e…
By measuring success in terms of GDP, we treat natural resources as free & endless. But we pay the price: climate crisis, pollution, mass extinction. It's time to #MakeNatureCount, measuring our natural capital & protecting it. bit.ly/3rbVHmu

If you, out of curiosity, get an antibody test after the second dose of vaccine, and it is negative, don't freak out. The test was probably done against nucleoprotein, not spike protein. And there is no nucleoprotein in the US/EU vaccines. You will only make antispike antibodies.

I'm giving up drinking till Christmas. Bad punctuation. I'm giving up. Drinking till Christmas.
YOU👏CAN'T👏TEST👏OUT👏OF👏QUARANTINE. Close contact with a confirmed case requires 14 days of quarantine. No negative test of any kind (PCR, antigen, antibody) releases you early.
Relying on any single safety measure won't work. Layering our approach is necessary to reduce risk of infection, prevent illness and death, and accelerate economic recovery.
