Joining @wolfblitzer @CNNSitRoom: We need to focus on the vaccine trial endpoint that really matter--hospitalization. If people are protected from #covid19's most severe effects, then it goes from being a deadly disease to a bad cold or seasonal flu https://t.co/UnkJjZvBE4

The crucial result in vaccine trials beyond good efficacy numbers: Very few hospitalizations. This is what will allow us to get back to normal life without the danger of overwhelming the healthcare system.

Here’s my best-case scenario: With existing vaccines, we turn #covid19 into an illness akin to the seasonal flu. By the end of 2021, we can resume much of our pre-pandemic lives.

Editorial reflects view of many-most important finding of all these trials, that vaccines (across sites, across variants) prevented severe illness/death is the key to getting out. Little severe illness- no restrictions (I don't agree w/ mass testing after)https://t.co/x0MZzcXH1q

Really important points made about how existing covid vaccines appear to be extremely effective at preventing serious illness *inc against new variants*. Our worst case is likely making the virus flu equivalent https://t.co/EN8OR7XUr1 pic.twitter.com/hUoytbvudj

In addition to good news on vaccines, we need better responsiveness gettng shots into arms. Web sites to nowhere and an inability to get an appointment for the shot must improve!!

The paper, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, said that the vaccine had 74.6 percent efficacy against the new variant, which was first detected in Britain and is known as B.1.1.7. https://t.co/UvZc9D3Ysc

This optimistic opinion column describes trying to manage Covid-19 down to the way we handle the flu: seasonal waves treated by vaccines. Covid-19 is 10 times deadlier, so unless we want hundreds of thousands dead per year, we need to do better.

best-case scenario: With existing vaccines, we turn covid into an illness akin to seasonal flu...Out of more than 30,000 people who received either Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, only one became ill enough to be hospitalized. https://t.co/3CMaR8iuG4 cc @TorontoIDDoc #cdnpoli
