A few things on my mind
🧵🧵
1)
-#SARSCoV2 is spread by aerosols at short and long range— not sure why there is still debate about this. Seeing tweets from Canada that this is still up in the air- no pun intended cc @DFisman @kprather88 @linseymarr

-global vaccine equity is an afterthought for rich countries; this is exactly how we thought this would go— for pharma, it’s about $$ & always was. Charity won’t solve this issue. It’s a structural problem cc @ThomasPogge @amymaxmen @RanuDhillon @rajpanjabi

Boosting fully vaccinated folks w/ mild co-morbidities won’t stop the epidemic here — fully vaxx’d transmitting much less
Need to vaccinate the unvaxx’d— still far too many holding out cc @MonicaGandhi9 @Craig_A_Spencer

Multifactorial strategy still needed— rapid antigen tests can stop superspreaders
— better masks key especially for those who are immunocompromised and/or high risk of exposure
—improving ventilation & safer air in public spaces is a must cc @j_g_allen @michaelmina_lab

-#SARSCoV2 is going to be endemic— but that was clear for a very long time
We need to have clearer endpoints for where things are headed; what risks are tolerable as a society (diff for vulnerable individuals) — what our goals are; & communicate this clearly cc @ashishkjha
