My next worry outside of covid is the return of measles, which historically in N. Hemisphere occurred late winter or early spring and could become an issue if covid vaccine hesitancy/refusal spills over to routine childhood vaccinations.

Omicron and Beta variants evade antibodies elicited by vaccines and previous infections, but boosters help, but boosters help. See our research in Science Translational Medicine. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #SARSCoV2 #Omicron

Neutralizing #antibody activity from #SARSCoV2 infection or #mRNA #vaccines is reduced against a pseudovirus that expresses the spike protein mutations of the #Omicron variant, according to new research. Read more: fcld.ly/66k1tmd

Unlike antibodies elicited by mRNA vaccines against #COVID19, some non-neutralizing, afucosylated IgG antibodies specific to #SARSCoV2 may be associated with progression to more severe disease, according to new research. fcld.ly/57y998y

Measles was eliminated in the US and much of the world for years Reduced vaccination undermines elimination & measles will return across the US / beyond Measles harms children and adults whose immunity has waned - and causes serious disease We don’t want measles to return.
