When CDC says <1% vaccine breakthroughs, let's be specific & say 0.008%. And in terms of severe disease, 0.0005% and in terms of deaths, 0.0001%. And Dr. Fauci said severe disease in elderly with other health problems to NPR. Reduce hesitancy by optimism https://t.co/mYLQ7G8psi https://t.co/mYLQ7G8psi - view on twitter

Oh & why do we need annual flu vaccines? Influenza virus is an RNA virus with much higher mutation rate than coronavirus which actually has a lot of fidelity in replication; doesn't mutate that fast. Also current flu vax not great; need global flu vax https://t.co/vSEHtYyiLI - view on twitter
