Mutants or not. This is what is happening in the UK since the start of COVID vaccination. Vaccines work. 
So while we sequence and find a particular variant is dominant, the numbers that matter are total cases and deaths. The UK is doing well with vaccination and offers a preview of what is likely to happen in the US in the next month. nytimes.com/2021/02/07/hea…
Am I sure it’s vaccines?

Thanks to many who point our that masks & distancing could have contributed to the decrease. I agree.
My main point was with stories about the dominant form in the UK being a highly contagious mutant variant we don’t miss the big picture that total cases & deaths are going down.

I am also confident not only that vaccines work, but they will also offer protection against mutant variants, especially against serious disease.
Second vaccines are the only feasible long term solution to stem the tide of mutant variants.
