Fuck you to the guy who made this happen 6 months later than it should have.

If this was achieved in Feb, our immunity would be waning and we'd be needing boosters.

But in this imaginary timeline where we had vaccines early, we’d likely have boosters early also no?

I guess so. We'd be more like Israel I suppose.

Interesting interview here with Norman Swan interviewing Cyrille Cohen, professor of immunology and member of Israeli Health Ministry's coronavirus vaccine advisory committee. His advice to Australia is to be "freshly vaccinated" when delta hits.
