Single dose of BNT162b2 did not prevent fatal outcomes in this example of a long-term care facility outbreak in Germany.

Most cases occurred three weeks after the dose.

If you've had covid, there's an 84% lower risk of (re)infection for at least 7 months.
93% reduction in symptomatic infections.

I saw a tweet saying that because people who’ve had the vaccine feel more worried about COVID than people who haven’t gotten the vaccine yet, we should change our messaging to claiming that the vaccine is 100% perfect with no exceptions.

📍You can install more ICU beds & buy more ventilators in a surge. But healthcare workers, you cannot.
— Eric Feigl-Ding (@DrEricDing) April 10, 2021
📍Equipment is replaceable. Doctors and nurses are not.
📍You can try to pay more to HCW to work more hours, but you can’t if HCWs burn out. #COVID19 #vaccinate #ZeroCovid pic.twitter.com/vBDpetQVBL
At least 2700 inmates have died from #COVID19. None deserved it. A month after Bruce Norris had a life sentence commuted, he died of COVID while waiting release.

I’m struggling with the idea of a guy who’s spent most of the pandemic sitting back (in Austria) cultivating a social media brand by tweeting alarmist rubbish, using my suffering & burnout as a tool to justify his daft ideology. pic.twitter.com/kc15YUonlg
Instead of requiring an appointment, let people walk in to get vaccinated. Let's make it easy, especially in places with lots of spread.
— Dr. Tom Frieden (@DrTomFrieden) April 10, 2021
Wow, the number of people spewing straight-up hate and wishing for me to die (yep) simply because I said we are not quite at normal yet — not that we should lockdown, mind you, just that it makes sense to still take precautions.

You will see the familiar face of @peterhotez now. But, you have probably never seen him like this -- with his family and his adult daughter Rachel, who has autism. Peter has been a leading voice on vaccines for decades, and it is incredibly personal.
