"The SARS-CoV-2 immunology dataset rapidly overtook our knowledge of most other human pathogens that had been studied for decades. Yet, lest we sink into self-congratulatory immunological hubris, there are huge and self-evident caveats to our pride in these achievements."
@cyrilpedia I love this section: "How did ‘endemic’ — the term used in infectious disease to describe our relentless struggle in the relationship with our greatest scourges of HIV, tuberculosis and malaria — come to be re-appropriated to mean some form of victory over COVID-19? If we now meet the COVID challenge poorly and throw in the towel, historians may puzzle over our ineptitude for centuries to come."
