I’m listening to informative new episode of @inthebubblepod.
It’s about Israel’s vaccination effort and early observational evidence of its effects. As always, it’s complicated. But much good news.

2/ Vaccines working great to prevent hospitalization among those vaccinated and strong evidence that vaccinated people much less likely to transmit virus...
3/ but big outstanding issues about “vaccine hesitancy” in minority populations (ultra-Orthodox, Israeli Arab), ethical issues with vaccine passports (govt proof of vaccination required to participate in certain activities of daily life)...
4/ concerns that variants like #B117 and #B1351 will move the goal post re: % vaccinated required to get to herd immunity
5/ importantly a discussion of Israel’s position re: vaccination of Palestinians living in the occupied territories
6/ the discussion reminds me what a transferable knowledge base a racial equity lens is for epidemiologic research. Bc of my training, many of the issues raised are ones I can quickly fit into social epi theoretical frameworks to analyze and evaluate potential responses
