And he feels the frustration many have about how the pandemic is ramping up because of the Delta variant.<br/><br/>In this interview, Arkin explains why the vaccine, which did so well against the original Alpha variant, is struggling with the Delta. But why it&#8217;s still so important for everyone to be vaccinated because it&#8217;s still safer to get jabbed than not.<br/><br/>And why folks 60 and older are being given boosters in Israel.<br/><br/>The good news: science is rapidly responding to COVID variants.<br/><br/>The bad news: COVID adapts so quickly that yesterday&#8217;s strategies don&#8217;t always work today.
