Cousin Omicron, like Ms. Delta Rona, is not playing with you. Your best protection is to be fully vaccinated.

NEW: A third dose of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine offers protection against the Omicron variant that’s 20 times better than the antibody response of two doses, according to a study from the National Institutes of Health.

We are still in this pandemic because of Republicans. Republican politicians pushing policies that are anti-science. Policies that will prolong the pandemic. Republican voters who refuse to be vaccinated and the rest of us aren’t supposed to be pissed at these clowns.

FOH!😠😠

Uh huh
Uh huh😒

I clearly remember when it switched from being a pandemic we were all in together to a politicized pandemic. It was the same time we heard non-whites were dying disproportionately (because they were essential workers, not because of race, as it turns out). It's disgraceful.

46 and his Administration have done all they could to help this country.

All this information coming out about Dolt45 and the response to COVID doesn’t shock me. We lived through it in real time. It was the nightmare we thought that it was….and the MSM tried to gaslight us.

Hey, remember all the static that a lot of us – including @VP – took for saying that we wouldn't trust a vaccine produced solely on Trump's assurances and say-so?

This is why. In the end, we trusted the scientists, not Trump. https://t.co/DCxpTck1Eo

Both sides aren’t the same, MSM.
Not the same, at all.

Not me. I am not mad at this Administration.

Are people seriously mad about the White House telling voluntarily unvaccinated people about the harm they're doing? When did telling the truth become a bridge too far? https://t.co/qZwqlcfIk7

But it's apparently too dire to tell people what their role is in this? We've tried to convince people based on human decency & their own health. We've given them cash prizes. We've tickled their toes every damn step of the way. But an accurate description of the harm is too far?

COVID Update: Vaccine boosters appear to double the effectiveness of vaccines against Omicron.

But with only 14% of the country boosted, we should brace for a tough winter. 1/

Some good news. In both cases (prior immunity & 2 vaccines), studies are showing T cell response (our line of defense that prevents more severe illness in the lungs) continues to work against Omicron. 3/

— Andy Slavitt 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@ASlavitt) December 13, 2021

This is the kind of news that warrants big sighs of relief. It implies that boosters are also effective in breaking the chain of transmission.

So a boosted population would be well protected against Omicron— not even accounting for masks, tests & therapies. 5/

— Andy Slavitt 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@ASlavitt) December 13, 2021

Only 14% of Americans are boosted. And while the number of booster shots has increased since Omicron, we are adding only 1% of Americans every 3 days.

Let’s see how that plays out…7/

— Andy Slavitt 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@ASlavitt) December 13, 2021

Delta is doing enough of a job infecting and killing people that it doesn’t need any help.

Pre-Omicron, we’re losing 1200 people/day, 120,000 new cases. These are lion’s share unvaccinated people, never mind boosted. 9/

A word of warning. I’ve had Long Covid for 12mths and counting. In this time, I’ve been diagnosed with neurological sleep apnoea, encephalitis, sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus dysautomnia and POTs, and myopericarditis. I was never hospitalised. My case is mild.
