Top 5 cases/capita in the world in any country or state with population >1 million
1. Louisiana 121/100,000
2. Georgia (country) 100/100,000
3. Florida 99/100,000
4. Mississippi 96/100,000
5. Botswana 96/100,000
Fully vaccinated in Georgia and Botswana 6%
Today, the 5 most vaccinated states (14M people) had
580 people in hospital, 12 deaths
In the 5 least vaccinated states (16M people)?
6,600 hospitalized, 104 deaths
Per capita , least vaccinated states have
10X hospitalizations and 7X deaths
So yeah, vaccines are working
QUICK THREAD ON VACCINES & DELTA: Friday's @PHE_uk report said that viral load in infected vaccinated people was similar to that of uninfected people.
As has been pointed out by others, this does *not* mean all is lost and vaccines don't work.
10 tweet thread explaining why!
We focused this study on MDR Staph and E coli vaccines. The technology could be applied to bacterial, viral, fungal infections in human & veterinary medicine
Biomaterial vaccines developed by the Wyss and @hseas researchers open up future possibilities to ward off bacterial infections in hospitals and future epidemics.

Proud to contribute to this work led by Dave Mooney @wyssinstitute and his team that resulted in the development of a powerful new broad spectrum infection vaccine. Useful for antibiotic resistant organisms and for ring vaccination protection even with pathogen ID unknown
"As our first in human clinical trial continues, we look forward to continuing to validate GARNET’s safety and documenting the reported clinical benefits received by patients enrolled in the study."-Nisha Varma, COO
