The vaccines are highly effective against the Indian variant as they are against all the variants. Reports to the contrary have been wrong or greatly exaggerated for the sake of alarming headlines. https://t.co/MFg4WeXwX7

Yet I’ve been seeing Very Very Scary headlines everywhere like, “The Vaccines Are Completely Useless Against the Indian Variant,” and “The Indian Variant Somehow Coalesced Into a Macro Entity and Shoved a Vaccine Vial Up Someone’s Bum!”
Reality is, the vaccines work against that variant just like all the others. Some people just like to doom-monger and it makes the press loads of money.
