RNA viruses like COVID19 virus mutate as a mechanism to escape immune system. Mutations happen as a consequence of virus replication. With as much virus circulating & replicating in U.S. the variant in U.K. may have arisen in U.S. already.

FAQ COVID-19 vaccine: Will there be side effects from vaccine? YES. Mild/moderate, resolving in 1 to 3 days. Some (not all) of: injection site pain, swelling, headache, muscle pain, fever, chills & fatigue. Most of these show that an immune response has occurred (as expected).
Among (true) public health professionals, there is no dispute or disagreement, and the message has been same for months: all of us should wear masks if we are to control spread of COVID-19 and save lives. Period. Full stop. Over.
Personal responsibility not withstanding, COVID-19 situation in Tennessee - worse in nation - demands mandatory mask mandates. Same science that produced vaccines, indicates that masks will dramatically slow COVID-19 spread and save many, many lives.
I am very excited to partner with 3 legacy Memphis institutions, Univ of Memphis, Methodist Le Bonehur & Church Health, to expand training of Black doctors to serve West Tennessee. Impact on health equity in region will be felt for years to come. https://t.co/3TVK5rCKeD
