How did a small study (ironically, mostly good news) go on to cause a global, misleading panic over variants defeating our vaccines? I wrote of one example—of too many―highlighting a key issue: please read the methods section before writing an article. https://t.co/qVkesW9L4r

Ugh. Heard people whinging about variants all over the fuckin’ place, about how the vaccines were useless against them.
This is why sometimes you gotta read the damn papers. The press is nearly always wrong. The experts are at least 50% of the time.
As I often say, what a world.
