Full vaccine dose eliminates Covid risk of death, hospitalization, spread. Table tells the story:

David Leonhardt @DLeonhardt 1h
The evidence so far suggests that a full vaccine dose:

1. effectively eliminates the risk of Covid death
2. nearly eliminates the risk of hospitalization
3. drastically reduces the ability to infect somebody else.

All of that is also true about the virus variants.

He and his wife have been vaccinated, but their children are far down the list.
He does not want to bring it home as an asymptomatic carrier.

For most of us, getting access to the vaccine is still a remote fantasy.

I would like to know what were the daily routines of the recipients. Did they return to work, go to the grocery store, restaurants, etc.
