I am thrilled to open my last daily version of this email with the knowledge that over half of the adult U.S. population is now vaccinated, and breakthrough infections are rare.

While it is still unclear how long immunity from vaccination (or coronavirus infection) lasts, the N.Y. Times highlighted our changing understanding of the immune response. "'[These] papers are consistent with the growing body of literature that suggests that immunity elicited by infection and vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 appears to be long-lived,' said Scott Hensley, an immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania who was not involved in the research." Once again, coronavirus has pushed our boundaries of knowledge and understanding on a wide range of topics.

The Financial Times published this detailed review of the latest understanding of the observed rare AZ and J&J blood clot complications. And the problem is fixable.

Coffee read of the day! The COVID Tracking Data Project team had their thoughts published in The Atlantic. Guess what? Our data systems are siloed and messy. There are valuable lessons to learn, though I am skeptical we will be spending money on a unified, national data collection and analysis program.

It seems I missed my calling as the witty twitterer for a brand. I found the MoonPie Twitter feed yesterday, providing strong competition to Steak-umms (https://twitter.com/steak_umm) for the best "quasi-philosophical, woke voice of a mass-produced food product‽"
I offer the self-aware MoonPie Chart:

----Bonus Round: Start at the beginning
Let's end this final daily email with the opening from my first email from 3/19/2020. Despite all that has changed in fifteen months, you will never go wrong with this advice:
"Please keep your critical thinking focused on what you are seeing, reading, and hearing. Being at home can amplify the echo chamber of your own thoughts, especially when your colleagues are voices attached to floating letters and heads on WebEx and you are ingesting media. Some more digestible thoughts on logical fallacies: https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/common-logical-fallacies "
Clean hands and sharp minds, team

PS - I'll be back next week with a weekly digest version. Now, which day has the best open rates for emails?
