I am behind - will tweet on the phase I/II data of the Novovax vaccine trial in NEJM tomorrow & press release of phase 3. But remember that immunity (herd immunity does not mean 100% immune response for 100% of flock; means enough to control spread) is the key to controlling any
pandemic where pathogen does not affect immune cells (e.g. HIV). We don't have malaria, TB, HIV control because no effective vaccines like this. These COVID-19 vaccines are MORE than adequate. A. Camus: "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer."
Paraphrase: "In the midst of not reaching herd immunity, I find there was, with 5 phase 3 trial results for COVID-19 vaccines showing safety and efficacy, especially against dreaded outcomes in places where these variants circulating, an invincible summer" (ok maybe autumn 2021)
