So a key person in the #oxford / #astrazeneca #vaccine development for #covid has no said that the #delta #india #variant makes #herdimmunity impossible: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/delta.. Why are we even bothering then? #israel has 80% #vaccination in #adults and recently got another surge in cases. *There is no way out, we just need to accept the reality.*
There is a study suggesting that the #moderna #vaccine is more effective against the #delta #india #variant of #covid than the #pfizer one: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/.. The interesting part for me though is the #hackernews #comments where people are #mixingvaccines https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=281.. This is completely untested: https://globalnews.ca/news/8021692/mixin..
As expected, the #delta #variant of #covid is #dominant in the #us https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus..
Ouch, looks like the #uk will see a 4 week delay to #covid #lockdown restrictions: https://youtube.com/watch?v=HtT-AOmA_0g The rumour is that it will be Spring next year before the lockdown is fully lifted. Apparently the #india #delta #variant is still of quite high concern.
