    Important new study by Wibmer et al (https://t.co/q6150ahSCz) of neutralization by convalescent sera on wildtype vs 501Y.V2 variant viruses circulating in South Africa. It shows that mutations present in 501Y.V2 result in reduced neutralization capacity. 1/10

    Our Administration will lead with science and scientists — with a CDC and NIH that are free from political influence, a Surgeon General who is independent and speaks directly to the people, and an FDA whose decisions are based on science and science alone.

    Senator Rand Paul said if you’ve had #COVID19 or you’ve received the #COVID19Vaccine "throw your mask away.ā€ Here I cover for @Forbes why this statement goes against the known science about the #vaccine & natural immunity https://t.co/mtJiMfwzD4

    Rand Paul Says ā€˜Throw Your Mask Away’ After Covid-19 Vaccination, Don’t Do That

    Here is why you should continue to wear face masks after recovering from a Covid-19 coronavirus infection or getting the Covid-19 vaccine.
