Yes indeed Eddie - it's distressing. J and J efficacy starting off lower than Novavax.

Yes, a replicatory advantage of B.1.1.7 over B.1.351 would be bloody useful!

The Novavax is a fucking wakeup call like no other - the lack of urgency is disturbing. I don't think most people understand exactly how problematic that is - including vaccine makers and immunologists. "We want perfect data first!". Nope. Fucking move!

I'm pretty certain B117 will win out first, but as immunity builds up, probably some of these other lineages - OR B117will simply pick up those mutations and continue to dominate. Will be very interesting to watch (and, of course,linages X, Y, Z coming down the pipe....)

Definitely more lineages coming to a place near you soon. It was striking that people just seemed to want to hear the'89%' good news from the Novavax UK trial and not think about the SA data.

I think people just can't handle bad news by now, so they simply chose to ignore it - delusional, but understandable.I have a PhD in bad news, so I'm all good.
