Really helpful analysis here on reality of vaccine distribution in one state, Colorado: coloradosun.com/2021/01/08/col… via @ColoradoSun @johningold @EricaBreunlin Implications clarified, and there is some good news... 1/n
Implications: "teachers...(will get) vaccine after first responders and individuals age 70 +. (they should) get the vaccine starting in early March... (at) two doses three weeks apart, (this) won’t have much impact on the rest of the 2020-21 school year." However, ... 2/n
1. All States are now making older folks top priorities. Most at risk of severe consequence, and consensus now is that new, more transmissible variants mean we have to vaccinate these at-risk populations fast . Race against the variants. Also, ... 3/n
Good to hear Dr. Slaoui (OWS) argue that we'll have 70% of population vaccinated and reach herd immunity in May. But we need to see the data. The Pfizer/Moderna volumes alone will not get us there that fast. Astra Zeneca not even through Phase III. #CNNSOTU @jaketapper
@jaketapper Helpful from Dr. Jha. 2 Q's still 1. why not put the 60 mill who have had COVID at end of immunization line? Would help accelerate. And 2. do we just skip those in early priority groups who refuse to take vaccine and move on? Would also accelerate. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1330519…
OK, becoming a thread. Assume @ashishkjha analysis correct. Still the case that schoolkids and many of their families will not be vaccinated until much later in '21. So.... here's something current and next Admin can agree to do right now, 3/x
