1/3 Many thanks ⁦ @jaketapper⁩ for hosting me ⁦ @TheLeadCNN⁩ re: revised CDC guidelines. I indicated that I don’t have a specific problem with them, but they are not properly contextualized and placed in the context of a roadmap or continuum.

2/3 the way to do that is articulate what nation looks like by summer if approach full vaccination, meaning 20% of country under the age of 12 and ineligible because of age, and 80% adults/adolescents. The. transmission declines dramatically, we get back to 2019 style life

3/3 by summer life may get close to normal for many Americans. Between then and now the CDC should lay out a road map of gradually loosening restrictions as transmission declines. Right now at 50K new cases per day we’re at Summer 2020 levels, this decreases as we vaccinate >60%

We also discussed on the @TheLeadCNN @TheLeadCNN lead the urgency to confront Russian antivaccine antiscience aggression and local antivaccine groups in US and now conservative groups described in my @nature essay today https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01084-x
