I was referring to the headline, which very much has a "mission accomplished" spin to it:
>Pfizer Covid vaccine protects against worrying coronavirus variants
It reads as: "Don't be worried, Pfizer has the variant problem solved."
- dragonwriter 5y ago> I was referring to the headline, which very much has a "mission accomplished" spin to it That’s really reading a lot into what is a simple, concise, factual headline. There are a set of currently-worrying variants (about which there had been much public concern about the effectiveness of current vaccines), and the Pfizer vaccine is effective against them. That headline is very much not a “Mission Accomplished” banner.
- daenz 5y agoEmphasis on "currently" which is my entire point and is conveniently left out of the headline. It's an irresponsible headline for something so serious.
