Here’s what keeps me up at night: a post-Delta variant for which vaccines have lower effectiveness for severe outcomes overlapping with the Northern hemisphere winter. We are increasing the possibility of such a variant emerging by not acting urgently on global vaccine equity.

Getting vaccinated is the most important thing you can do to protect yourself and the people around you from the Delta variant of COVID-19. Find a free vaccine near you at https://t.co/4MYpWqXVVo.

you call it a Trump rally, I call it one more Delta Variant Incubation Epicenter

Folks the Delta variant is no joke. Please protect yourself and your loved ones – get vaccinated.

You know what time it is? Time to wear your N95 masks AGAIN. To say I am pissed that 1/3 of my fellow Americans refuse to get vaccinated does not come close to my high ire at making us all vulnerable to Delta.

Trump supporters shout "No masks!" at journalists as they head to an indoor rally in Phoenix, AZ (with the Delta variant running rampant). Some of these people are going to get very ill and could die. pic.twitter.com/57eAZaTzri

It’s not the Delta variant. It’s the Fox variant.

Lots of states mandate nursing home workers be vaccinated against influenza

But not against COVID

With many workers unvaccinated and delta surging, this is a huge risk

Why have we turned COVID vaccine mandates into a political issue when flu vax mandates were not?

Its crazy

I predict in coming weeks as delta consumes the nation, reports of unvaccinated young people in hospitals ICUs rise, esp in conservative strongholds, some of the resistance defiance to COVID19 vaccinations will eventually melt. But what a terrible price https://t.co/q9RQXauASz
