Antibody, a neutralizing antibody, the peak following a second dose of a two-dose mrna, it's like at this level. if you look at the peak involving the third shot boost, it goes way up here. people ask, why is that important? because our experience with variants such as the delta variant is that even though the vaccine isn't specifically targeted to the delta variant, when you get a high enough level of an immune response, you get spillover protection, even against the variant that the vaccine wasn't specifically directed at. and that's the reason why we feel, even though we don't have a lot of...

Have too many people who are refusing to get vaccinated. we have tony says 60 million, it's basically 41% of the population. really, i think it's more than 60 million who are refusing to get vaccinated. and we still have not done well in terms of individuals who are eligible to get that third immunization, who have not gotten it. and we still have too many unvaccinated kids who are eligible. so if we're ultimately going to end this pandemic, we're going to have to vaccinate our way out of it. and i think we can. but the bar is high. when you have a highly transmissible variant both like delta ...
