Totally bonkers. But I'll take a declining trend over an increasing trend or a plateau (the US favorite) any day.

!channel I suspect that the pending little virological post, which brings most of the PO1 band back together, on sucha hot topic will attract attention...an opportunity perhaps for a bit of public service messaging that "vaccines are not going to be a silver bullet."

@Kristian Andersen @Andrew Rambaut - have you seen any data from the UK about neutralization studies from these variants? It's unclear to me why the data is taking this long, so surely some must have been produced?
