A: Yes! We love this story about cheesemakers and dairy farmers helping rural Wisconsinites get access to the COVID-19 vaccine in the name of reaching “curd” immunity!

Not exactly, no. The A+ efficacy results of the COVID-19 vaccines in clinical trials mean that as a group, vaccinated people have *a lot* of protection from getting COVID-19. But we can’t say that any one person has a level of protection that is equal to the efficacy numbers. There are a thousand things that Read more…
