   50% effective vaccine in 50% of people.... I don't expect much help from the vaccine in buckling the trend in cases, but I _do_ expect it'll make quite a big difference in hospitalizations and that's incredibly important. So I agree that this is far from bad news, however, we need to get back into the 90% efficacy rang (with effectiveness hopefully closely matching that) to really turn the tides on the virus. We absolutely need updated vaccines for that - plus, Imight be totally wrong about the lowered hospitalizations...That's interesting about H655Y in mice and it's pathogenic effect. I was talking to Mike Osterholm earlier in the week, who clearly has the best intel on what's happing out in the world, and it seems that they're getting information suggesting that P.1 might be quite a lot more severe than good old Doug. That would not be good.
