The Vaccines Work

While a lot of media coverage of vaccine testing has focused on their effectiveness at stopping infection per se, the most critical fact is that there is literally not a single person who has even been hospitalized with COVID-19 after being vaccinated by any of the major options:

So what’s the news there? Since the beginning of the trials, all trials, there has not been a single death or hospitalization among people vaccinated. Not one. Zero. Not for Moderna, not for Pfizer/BioNTech, not for Oxford/AstraZeneca, not for Sputnik, not for J&J, not for Novavax.

This is a really, really big deal and I wish it was the bottom line of more media coverage. Johnson & Johnson applied for emergency authorization today, and given its potential as a single-dose vaccine that requires only standard refrigeration this is a really important distinction.

In related news, what the hell is up with Massachusetts’s inexplicably beloved Republican Daddy?

But state officials concede that a distressingly large share of high-risk residents are unwilling to be vaccinated. So hospitals and the pharmacies that run vaccine clinics at senior sites have been left with more doses than they’re able to use.

“One of our big issues here in Massachusetts is [the federal government] gave us way more vaccine . . . than there were actually arms available to vaccinate,” the governor said.

Less than 8% of the state’s eligible population has even received one shot! The lack of urgency among our political class is just surreal.
