Was the covid-19 pandemic caused by a laboratory accident? A year ago, this idea was denounced as a conspiracy theory. Now, a group of prominent biologists say there needs to be a “safe space” for asking this question. https://t.co/eeIow087Me — PolitiTweet.org

While a vaccine that can block infection is wonderful, the most important factor is keeping people out of the hospital. https://t.co/syWBxPj8vt — PolitiTweet.org

While scientists testing vaccine efficacy often focus on antibodies, they are only “a very narrow slice” of what the immune response might be, says @drjenndowd. T-cells also help keep infections in check—and there’s data that the vaccines elicit good T-cell responses. https://t.co/ylvwmPXzSR — PolitiTweet.org

Real-world data out of Qatar suggests that the Pfizer vaccine works quite well, even against B.1.351. Full vaccination offered 75% protection, still “a miracle,” says Andrew Read, a disease ecologist at @PennStateBio. https://t.co/xZdY8WLrHJ — PolitiTweet.org
