Thanks for continuing to do this work for so long. Your posts are great sources of relief, as I like understanding things that make me upset as best as I can.
In that vein, I was wondering what you think about this article?
Basically, the Biden administration is reportedly moving towards a booster shot campaign because there's new evidence that vaccine protection is waning over time, maybe faster than expected. What do you make of this? Would love to get your take.
Hope you're keeping safe and thanks again for what you've been doing!
To clarify: my comment about other vaccines was meant in the context of the disease being a global problem(as you have written about), thus my mention of Sinovac. It now seems that the commonly-exported China-manufactured vaccines are not very effective (emphasis on "seems" as I am not an expert), and at this time I believe they're the most-widely-administered worldwide. Of course, nations that can't afford more effective vaccines can't afford truly widespread testing, either.
You mention the Taliban apparently banning vaccination. Could this be because a CIA pretense of working for a vaccination program resulted in the death of their buddy, Osama bin Laden? That's a rhetorical question, inevitably that contributes to their attitude. The CIA may well have killed more people than Osama ever managed with that poor decision.
