Should we delay 2nd Covid shots to get more people a 1st shot? @Bob_Wachter: Yes. If "after one dose you can get people 80% protected...it's not even very much of a close call." @angie_rasmussen: Maybe not. "My concern really is that by delaying...that 80% protection may wane."

Oh and @Bob_Wachter has time to go on @mehdirhasan too! On this topic, isn't basically everyone in the US going to get a first shot in the next month? Would we speed that up much if we delayed 2nd shots?

Better to share the traditional antiviral actions. Preventive & curative. They explain times of widespread health. Is pharma sharing them? Does the FDA know them? Who learns them nowadays? Is Bezos disguising them? Will Bezos' health care drain pharma's healthcare jungle?
