I believe "party" is the appropriate collective noun for a group of vaccinated individuals gathered for pure social engagement. As in, "A party of people gathered on Friday night that did not discuss work nor celebrate a holiday or family event. Someone (who is not my wife) hugged me goodbye at the end of the evening." And to think, I used to take parties for granted.

I have come across several articles on vaccine effectiveness. Here is the Twitter summary version:
Do I need to be vaccinated if I had COVID? (Yes)
https://twitter.com/JeromeAdamsMD/status/1396583454041575429
Does a single dose of Pfizer or AZ offer protection? (Yes)
https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1395746533442670602?s=20
Are vaccines effective against the B.1.617.2 variant from India? (Yes)
https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1396015144233222144?s=10
and
https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1396466781359730691
What about other vaccines? How is Sinovac's CoronaVac doing?
https://twitter.com/hildabast/status/1395950830075846660?s=10
Here is some interesting analysis of Ohio's (and now Maryland's) vaccine lottery incentive programs.

The last link is worth exploring - Psychology professor Johannes Haushofer discusses the behavior shaping of poverty and how that impacts health.

Get a cup of coffee and read this Wired story on the history of aerosolized particles as related to infectious disease. A loyal reader shared this science history lesson—an excellent example of why being thoughtful and critical about data matters.

----Bonus Round --- A history of mobile phones
My wife and I often recount the cellphone version of "I used to walk to school uphill both ways through 5-feet of snow" to our kids. For me, it was an in-car phone (with a speakerphone!) from 1990. My wife had a two-piece luggable phone in a small briefcase in her trunk. This weekend I found this delightful comprehensive history of Motorola's DynaTAC 8000X. And check out the links at the bottom of the article to see some early 20th century highly accurate predictions of how mobile phones would impact society.
