we received a lot of questions about the j&j vaccines. people are worried. should they be? that s one much my most frequently asked question. the answer is we don t have clinical data against the delta variant or at least not that has been publicly made available. we have laboratory data showing that people who have virus neutralizing antibiotics to the single dose j&j vaccines have some virus neutralizing antibiotics against the delta variant, but it s way down compared to the earlier lineages like the u.k. variant. and when i look at the numbers. and they are small numbers, one has serum from a dozen patients, another eight or nine patients are those who have gotten the vaccine, the decline is similar to the decline that we saw with the south african variant and we know that translates to a decline in efficacy. i don t want to extrapolate too much, but i think a single dose will have some decline and that means we got to really hear from the cdc and fda very soon about
