Calling the current state of #COVID19 #vaccine affairs "confusing" barely touches it. A malevolent false twitter claim that "spare" vaccines were at Brooklyn Army Terminal drew 100s to the site. pix11.com/news/local-new…

2/A neighbor bragged to me that she got vaxed merely by putting her name on a local indie pharmacist's list -- they called & bingo. Meanwhile, it took me 3 days to get an appt for next week, amid crashed govt websites & false appointments for times that had already passed.
MORE
3/Most queries I receive are from people trying to figure out #COVID19 vaccines: Should they? Can they? How? Where?
It's true all over USA. People hear natl reccs frm @CDCgov but different priorities from their States, even cities.

Look at this thread. Cong. Schneider makes the THIRD Representative to test + for #COVID19 after spending hours during the Jan 6 insurrection in a room with #Republicans that refused to wear masks. It clearly was a superpreader event.
In this thread is a video showing the following individuals refusing to don offered masks:
Andy Biggs (Ariz.)
Mo Brooks (Ala.)
Michael Cloud (Texas)
Matt Gaetz (Fla.)
Paul Gosar (Ariz.)
Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.)
Doug LaMalfa (Calif.)
Markwayne Mullin (Okla.)
Scott Perry (Pa.)
It is likely one of them was a #COVID19 superpreader.
So far, they have all been 100% unrepentant. It's as if they wanted to hurt their colleagues.

While all eyes are on the fallout of the Jan 6 #insurrection the #SARSCoV2 virus is spreading across America at breakneck speed. During the time the entire @WhiteHouse has been focused on false claims that #Trump won -- since Nov 3 -- the US caseload has more than 2X'ed.
MORE
2/
 On Election Day Nov. 3, US cumulative #COVID19 cases was 9.6 million. Today it's 22.1 M -- that's an ^ of 12.5 million cases.
And American deaths?
Election Day total = 231,600
Jan 9 = 373,500
So, 141,900 Americans have died while @WhiteHouse focused on "stolen election"
MORE
3/
 Given a 36% undercount in deaths in the US, due to delays in reporting + failure to test/diagnose, real #COVID19 toll today is more than a half million.
Since Jan 1st we've added 3700-4K deaths/day and 270K-300K cases/day. If we stay this course, by Valentines Day...

Just got off a national security zoom mtg (Chatham House rules forbid saying who & where) -- very high level leaders of past mega events, reflecting on Wed #AssaultOnDemocracy at the Capitol.
Universal condemnation of intelligence failures. Some key comments follow.

 “worse than 9/11” (said by someone who had a command role on 9/11 in NYC)
“complete intelligence failure”
“Police across America are overly fixated on groups on the Left, and need to see the Right”

 “these people now have a martyr” (the woman who was shot) “expect to see her image everywhere”
“we are only at the beginning with these nuts”
“This isn’t about Trumpism. If you leave it at that you’re going to get blindsided”

THIS IS FALSE DISINFORMATION
Properly worn masks, depending on whether they're fabric or medical masks, cut transmission by 50-85%. This is proven in literally dozens of high calibre studies.

Talk in the UK (& Germany & Denmark) of using just 1 #COVID19 #vaccine dose/person for now, possibly providing boosters months later, is distressing.
A quick thread follows.
1.) @Pfizer has been clear as a bell: 1 dose = 52% protection, 2 doses = 95%
MORE
bmj.com/content/371/bm…
2/ Compare those 52% vs 95% numbers to #measles. After Dose 1 a child is 69% protected against measles, but that jumps to 91% w/2nd dose. Given measles is ultra-contagious (Ro up to 18!) anything <90% is awful.
MORE
sciencedirect.com/science/articl… and
who.int/immunization/n….
3/ In contrast, #hepatitisB vaccine offers up to 93% protection w/1 dose & 97.8% w/2 doses. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
The virus is not very contagious (Ro<1), and not airborne, so a single dose of vaccination may be adequate for people who aren't sexually active.
