Tl;dr -- vaccinating the un-vaxxed >> boosters, but either way, good odds we'll need precautions as Delta spreads

Let’s talk through the math of how we might decide!

How I know all you new interns are gonna be ok: a brief story

My first rotation of residency was in the ED. Day 2, I was managing a patient w/ septic shock, persistently hypotensive after the 30cc/kg bolus, on abx but not looking good.
