The latest @IPCC_CH report serves as a “file of shame,” @antonioguterres said, “cataloging empty pledges that put us firmly on track towards an unlivable world.”

In areas where #COVID19 is still spreading, even if we are vaccinated, we can do our bit to stop the spread by continuing to wear masks and physically distancing - especially when inside or in a crowded place.

This is unfortunately false- protection against severe disease wanes considerably even post-booster. Remember a waning of 96% to 87% protection may seem small, but it's a *3 fold* increase in risk. And protection from long COVID is incomplete (~50%), and will likely wane too.

[Dr. Deepti Gurdasani @dgurdasani1]

Especially if you're elderly & in a clinically vulnerable group, your baseline risk is high enough, that this relative increase in risk, is a pretty significant absolute increase in risk too. So it's important to try and *prevent* infection rather than relying on boosters alone.
