Last Wednesday, January 6th, is one that will be remembered as a near miss. Seditionist terrorists loyal to the cult leader Donald Trump descended on our nation’s capital, attacking the Capitol, in order to overturn the results of a free and fair election. At the time of publishing, five people have died. Dozens of our Congressional representatives could have been killed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage will have to be paid from federal dollars. And it could have been There is plenty of excellent reporting on the day’s events and the possible consequences for our country. We are not going to talk about those things here. That work is best done by the journalists who risked their lives on Capitol Hill that day, to cover the historic siege on American soil by Americans.

Now, health officials in the United States are discussing this, but not everyone agrees.
Dr. Bob Wachter, the Chair of the UCSF School of Medicine, argued in favor of the policy in a thread on Twitter. Far better to have 100M people who are 80% protected than 50M people who are 95% protected, particularly as we are facing a foe that is getting smarter and nastier. Or at least it seems that way to me, tweeted Wachter.
U.S. is now considering idea of a single vaccination shot, delaying shot #2 until months later. Last wk, I thought that was a bad idea – the trials that found 95% efficacy were 2 shots; why add extra complexity & a new curveball. But facts on the ground demand a rethink.
