Yes. Confidentially this has come from Manaus - i.e., super high seroprevalence.

    Oh my - that's concerning if this is what emerges out of close to "herd immunity."

    That is the main point - close to herd immunity is the worst for selecting for escape. Why vaccination needs to befast and comprehensive. Its also why I am going more in favour of delaying second dose if you can get universal coverage quickly but the worse would be slow and delayed.

    "Slow and delayed" is definitely the Trump approach.
