“1/ We should look carefully at what’s happening in Europe right now, in countries like Germany, which are experiencing a big surge in COVID cases despite high rates of vaccination: nytimes.com/2021/11/10/wor

Resim

“2/ Many will say that surges in COVID cases despite high vaccination rates are due to waning immunity. But look at Germany’s vaccine uptake. They were slow to start, but then raced ahead of us. Many of their vaccinations were delivered in June and July, <6 months ago.”

Resim

“3/ It’s hard to argue that waning immunity is the primary driver here, although it could exacerbate the situation for the US, which vaccinated earlier than Germany. Note that in Germany, they use the same COVID vaccines we do (Pfizer, Moderna, J&J) & the AstraZeneca vaccine.”

“1/ More warning signs in Europe that we should be heeding. theguardian.com/commentisfree/ by @EricTopol Not just Eastern Europe. washingtonpost.com/world/2021/11/ And not just Germany:

Resim

“2/ Take the case of Austria: nytimes.com/2021/11/11/wor COVID cases areYukarı okYukarı okYukarı ok“

Resim

“3/ Austria got a later start in vaccinating its population than we did, but then raced ahead. 63% of Austrians are fully vaccinated vs 57% of Americans Austria is using the Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, and AstraZeneca COVID vaccines.”

Resim

“4/ Most Austrians got vaccinated between June & September, so not much waning immunity to infection yet.”

“5/ One difference is that Austria likely has less post-infection immunity:”

Resim

“6/ How stringent are public health mitigation measures in Austria? About on par with the U.S.”

“7/ Now take the case of the Netherlands: nytimes.com/2021/11/12/wor COVID cases are Yukarı okYukarı okYukarı ok

“8/ Like Germany & Austria, the Netherlands got a later start in vaccinating its population than we did, but then raced ahead. 73% of the Dutch are fully vaccinated vs 57% of Americans The Netherlands is using the Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, and AstraZeneca COVID vaccines.”

Resim

“9/ Most of the Dutch got vaccinated between June & September, so not much waning immunity to infection yet.”

“10/ The U.S. may have slightly more post-infection immunity than the Netherlands, but not by much:

Resim

“11/ How stringent are public health mitigation measures in the Netherlands? Slightly less than in the U.S.”

“12/ We are in for a big surge here if we don’t find a way to vaccinate the unvaccinated… ALAS:

“13/ What other tools do we have? – Masks (ideally KN95 or N95), ventilation, air filtration – Rapid antigen testing to isolate those who are infectious – Boosters for the elderly, immunocompromised, & residents of long-term care facilities”

“14/ Soon we’ll likely also have oral anti-viral pills to mitigate the toll of COVID among those who get infected. BUT:”

“15/ It’s no fun being in this place almost 2 years in. I know people want to get vaccinated/boosted (or not) & return to pre-Nov 2019 life. It is in our power to control what happens next. But will we finally understand that this is a “we” problem that requires “we” solutions?”
