Of effectiveness of the vaccine? it would foreshore. the mutations that are rising that have now led to delta and will inevitably lead to further variance down the road, are certainly giving the virus a leg up to both transmit more readily but also appear to be giving it an ability to start to chip away at our immune protection and enable to infect individuals a bit easier. so if we were still dealing with version one of this virus, for example, that really matched the vaccine as well. whereas now, the vaccines that we ve gotten, including the boosters, unfortunately, are going to be, i do want to say outdated, but they are based around this genomic sequence of the virus that is no longer actually in circulation. we have now moved on to delta. and that is a slightly different sequence. doctor michael mina, thank you very much for joining us tonight, we really appreciate ....
Doing more to increase vaccine hesitancy than anyone because of these heavy-handed tactics, blame game, vilification, demonization. your thoughts. i think you are right. i think the problem is they have no imagination and don t think about what is going on and how to solve it. they are working on the premise they didn t do enough in the first place, do the same but more so now. that is a failed idea. we have the tools to fix it and need to use them. as i have said on your program for breakthrough cases treat them as outpatients that work very well and that solved the problem. as to delta, delta is going away in the uk. this is a bump we are facing that is likely to be gone in ....
