Pfizer vaccine appears effective against mutation in new coronavirus variants

Reopening the economy or not is a political choice and doesn't necessarily depend on vaccine effectiveness. The economy in Florida has been pretty much open since September. We can argue about whether that is wise but the reality is they are open today.

There’s truth to this, but it’s more complicated. In my neighborhood, even if our mayor “opened” things back up, very few would be willing to, say, dine indoors. I can say this confidently because we were less locked down in the late summer.

It’s not just a political choice.

Are you sure of this? Here every time restrictions are lifted all restaurants are crowded the very same day.

Yep. This is what we've seen where I live.

But I agree this can depend on the community. I even specified neighborhood rather than city because I'd imagine this is different in other neighborhoods in my own city.

The question was not about wrong political choices, but about the right ones.

But how do you evaluate right?

Public health, economic, liberty, community cohesion?

Those compatible with the scientific research.

Which scientific research? That which only takes the virus related deaths into account, or that which balances other factors such as depression, suicide, substance and spousal abuse, and long term economic factors?

At least whatever does not contradict all scientific results.
