Dispute simmers over who first shared SARS-CoV-2 ’s genome

last week about a set of controversial sequences from the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, China, the release explained by way of background that the repository was “an essential contributor to global health” trusted by thousands of data contributors from 215 nations and territories. But GISAID also included a claim that has been puzzling and infuriating some virologists for 3 years: It was the place where the first SARS-CoV-2 genomes were publicly shared, on 10 January 2020.

The social and socio-political embeddedness of COVID-19 vaccination decision-making: A five-country qualitative interview study from Europe
This study investigates people's decision-making process regarding vaccination by analyzing qualitative interviews (n = 214) with residents from five European countries: Austria, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Switzerland. We identify three factors that shape vaccination decision-making: individual experiences and pre-existing attitudes towards vaccination, social environment, and socio-political context. Based on this analysis, we present a typology of decision-making regarding COVID-19 vaccines, where some types present stable stances towards vaccines and others change over time. Trust in government and relevant stakehold...

Enablers and barriers to COVID-19 vaccine uptake: An international study of perceptions and intentions
Vaccine. 2021 Jul 23:S0264-410X(21)00947-6. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.07.056. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe development of COVID-19 vaccines is occurring at unprecedented speeds, but require high coverage rates to be successful.
