I read last winter that the Delta variant needs fewer ACE2 receptors and that is why it is infecting younger and older people. The older variant needed more. My school is about to make masks optional when students come back in 2 weeks. What can a person do to protect themselves. I plan to wear a mask and socially distance but how can one do this if our work environment does not require vaccine or masks?

Dear Mr. Harrison,

I wanted to ask you a question. I've been vaccinated once in May with the Pfizer-BionTech one. Couldn't take the second dose because of some issues. Now that everything got checked and cleared, I'm ready to take the second dose. Can I take the second dose 4 months after the first one? Any evidence on the later second dose?

Hope to receive an answer.

I can't say enough how much I agree with you ,wondered what took you so long for those comments 😊,. Months the media pushed on the miracle vaccines, yet the thinking people were aware it's not as they say, not possible and there maybe side effects ,we did not have to hide it !! It would have been mire efficient to vaccinate more people sharing the truth or just saying "we don't know yet "

On other hand ,what do you think of this : Isreal reports 40 % of hospitalized are double vaccinated, country 75 % vaccinated ,similar to UK , however US keeps reporting "almost none 1-2 % of hospitalized are vaccinated, rate of vaccination here 50 %?? I worry that we are again trying to sugar coat it , but what do you think is going on ? Probably more virus,yes, probably waning immunity in elderly who got first vaccinated ? Another question ,why the nasal vaccines did not get a good financial support , I know of one in UOA that failed phase 1 trial, and some being developed on Spain , why we are not investing here ? Thank you again!!
