Don’t forget dripping with self sanctimony that we’re sending vaccines instead of drones

Pandemic Proofing the World

The fastest way to develop a vaccine against an emergent outbreak is to already have the necessary research at your fingertips. The recipe for Moderna’s mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 was developed in 48 hours. (That is not a typo.) The company’s scientists weren’t magicians or oracles: They built on four decades of grueling work with mRNA, basic research on coronavirus spike proteins, and a breakthrough in the manipulation of lipid nanoparticles. Basic virology plus vaccinology research accelerated the vaccine’s development. Krammer’s idea is to try to build a vaccine for the next pandemic before it even starts.

.... have received at least one dose of vaccine.

That is correct! It has been shown that even one dose will keep you out of the hospital like it did for my brother. He got very sick but recovered in quarantine.

I'm glad he's better.... but "vaccinated" I think is both shots (or just the J&J one) PLUS two weeks. Its a process, not a shot.

So, the real "vaccinated" number is probably more like 78 million, which is how many people got all their shots as of April 15th. :)

All that said, the give everyone one shot first approach in the UK seemed to work well.

I think the "give everyone one shot" would have been just fine.

my wife, my daughters and myself are all fully vaccinated now. and the hate i get on my social media for making that statement is deep. I cannot understand how we go so fucking stupid in this country that people hate you for getting a shot they think is political. i gladly unfriended 15 people today. including some family.
