New #KPResearch shows #omicron causes less severe disease on average. Even so, Sara Y. Tartof, PhD, w/ @KPSCalResearch, cautions via @AP that on a societal level it's a serious situation and we need to maintain the practices that we know protect us. https://t.co/ISsK2jT0HH

Vaccine hesitancy as transformation of core beliefs about what we owe one another
🔸Without trust, no sense of common good
🔹Public health effective only when community members share in decisions
🔸Individual flourishing bound up in collective well-being

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Is it time from vaccination or Delta that drives waning of 💉effectiveness?
New @TheLancet study ~3.4 million @Pfizer vaccinated individuals @KPSCalResearch, with a subgroup of their #SARSCoV2 sequenced, shows persistent waning of effectiveness vs infections across variants /1

[Katia Bruxvoort @BruxvoortKatia]

Effectiveness of mRNA-1273 against Delta, Mu, and other emerging variants
VE vs Delta infection 87%, modest decline from 94% at 14-60 days since 2nd dose to 80% at 151-180 days
VE vs hospitalization high for all variant types (97-98%)
