Workd for me, I just tested it. Maybe need a Twitter account? Anyway, here's his Nature article - same but more detail. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2798-3

The things people aren't talking about - though he hints at it - is that when vaccination is widespread, the remaining vaccine refusers may be at higher risk than they are now. Depends if the vaccines prevent upper respiratory tract infection - some don't seem to, in NHP - if not, then the vaccinated person may have an extremely mild or asymptomatic case without lung/systemic effects, which is fine for him/her, but not for the unvaccinated person they're with. And of course social distancing won't be sustained for long, after vaccination is available. If vaccine refusal rate is 50% as some expect/fear, then I think we might see infections not in fact drop, but potentially rise. Hopefully the therapeutic programs advance as rapidly as the vaccine programs.
