#6Will this affect mandate requirements, if as effective as it’s claimed? If so we don't need to reach hard to achieve 95% vaccination rates and we can get closer to a normal life.

If it halves hospitalizations, it'll have a pretty drastic effect on overwhelmed ICUs but there's probably still a ways to go before ICU levels return to normal and we can skip mandates.

The trial was on non-hospitalized patients, because you can't test impact on hospitalization risk with patients that are already hospitalized. But given the supposed mechanism of action, I don't think there's any reason to believe it would not also be an effective therapy for hospitalized patients.
