Great! Can you send me that slide? You know what that goes with? The increased immunogenicity (increasing immune response) in the phase I/II clinical trial of the J&J vaccine from days 29 to days 57 - see here. Great news. https://t.co/RHLOe6leWZ https://t.co/RHLOe6leWZ

I don't think this is time to stop masking, distancing. We want to keep transmission as low as possible during this time of rolling out highly effective vaccines so they replicate less, mutate less, and to mimic clinical trial/real-world data. But SOON https://t.co/wrQPJ89Ncu

Maybe this article can help dispel some myths about the vaccines by AAMC. Please add to this article in your mind the article from this morning on T cell immunity working against variants (https://t.co/t6aqvCey5g) https://t.co/t6aqvCey5g)
