What I wish people understood about the #DeltaVariant is that it's not the same old COVID.
Even if you've had COVID before, data suggests that this variant's figured out how to evade your immune response.
We should probably stop calling it COVID-19 & update to COVID-21.

Lemme clarify a bit: it’s not that vaccines don’t work against #Delta, there’s good evidence to suggest that in full doses they do.
It’s that NATURAL immunity is less protective.

One of the main points used to argue against being vaccinated is that natural immunity is enough.
And though natural immunity has conferred against some degree of immunity against other variants, available evidence suggests it confers less against #delta

Ultimately - full vaccination remains the single most important thing folks can do to prevent COVID, delta or otherwise.
