WOW—Belgium announces that CO2 meters (of air ventilation) will be required in hotels, restaurants, bars, banquet halls & fitness centers — and required to be **visible** to all customers.

Today, we crossed 300 Million doses administered

Of which nearly 290 Million doses are mRNA vaccines (Moderna, Pfizer)

The safety profile of these vaccines is extraordinary

I can't think of anything else we've given nearly 300M doses of -- with so few untoward effects

Let’s walk through evidence 🧵 #COVID19 https://t.co/GurgkNVgiY pic.twitter.com/o0s9WIudCW
