#MerryChristmas2021! If I had one wish from #SantaClaus, what would it be?
With the #OmicronVariant, there’s a lot of chat on what countries should do with #COVID_19 vaccinations – start boosters or complete the first round of the recommended two doses for everyone? If boosters, should it be for all, or select populations? My take. 
As a global community, there is no question what we should do – work towards #VaccineEquity, and make sure that every eligible human gets their two doses. Remember, none of us are safe, unless all of us are safe. Cliched, but true.
I'm excited to share with you our recent @biorxivpreprint where we demonstrate that @vaxart mucosal Ad5 #SARSCoV2 vaccines not only protected against disease but also reduced transmission after post-#vaccination #SARSCoV2 infection in a hamster model. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A🧵/
If you follow me, you are well aware of my obsession w/ #mucosalimmunity.😂Protection generated at mucosal surfaces is at the crux of one of the biggest questions we need to answer during this unique phase of the #pandemic - How do we decrease #SARSCoV2 #transmission to others.
Considering most of the world is unimmunized (including most kids <12), the possibility that a vaccinated individual with a post-vaccination infection (aka #breakthrough) can spread #SARSCoV2 is a public health risk. We need #transmissionblocking strategies.
#SARSCov_2 viral variants / mutants and vaccination seem to be consuming most discussions on #COVID_19 these days. We’ve let incomplete data and general knowledge create misinformation and confusion amongst us all. An explanatory thread...
We’ve heard of the #Delta, the #DeltaPlus & unknown future variants which may be either more transmissible or more lethal than previous ones. This has either created panic, or worse, a sense of futility about both vaccines and precautionary measures to avoid the infection
The chatter about variants and mutants is fascinating, but linking them to the futility of getting over this pandemic is dangerous. An unfortunate line of thought seems to be that if these viruses mutate and vaccines are ineffective against them, why bother getting vaccinated?

Why?
