đUK study: ~1 in 4 people who were infected & tested PCR positive for COVID19 did NOT go on to develop IgG antibodies. Particularly if they were asymptomatic & elderly.
Want a sure way to develop antibodies against #SARSCoV2? Get vaccinatedđ!

Truthfully it would work here too.
There are naysayers but they are a tiny minority. And the politicians that pander to that tiny sliver. https://t.co/YnVCd9WVaE

Nice piece @theatlantic explores question of: Does Moderna give better protection than Pfizer, which gives better protection than J&J (the data would say yes to both)? And â if so â is it simply a matter of the relative doses? https://t.co/Bqav2pNNi7

From my read of the studies, there’s zero question that the benefit of vaccinating kids far outweighs the risk â both to the individuals & the community. I fear that partisanship & the misinformation campaign has created both-side-ism pressure that is distorting the true facts.

There is no rational reason, other than greed, for the pharmaceutical industry to charge the American people $98.70 for a standard unit of insulin that can be purchased in the United Kingdom for just $7.52.

Q: Should my child with X get the #COVID19Vaccine?
A: Yes, there are no absolute contraindications and if your child has a pre-existing condition itâs even more important theyâre protected.

More on crushing volume of #EHR in-box messages: @UCSFHospitals data shows that # of messages to our ambulatory clinicians is up 2x since ’19, 5x since ’16. Similar trends nationwide. It’s unsustainable & requires a nuanced, multi-layered (tech, workflow, incentives…) solution. https://t.co/TGNAPAODzg

Fact check: true
Every pediatrician I know getting their own kids vaccinated right away
Group that represents America’s pediatricians @AmerAcadPeds says all kids should get the shot
Family physicians also recommend kids get vaccinated
They might be on to something https://t.co/9SeIVQOBs7

I was on a CDC call yesterday and someone mentioned a new study that came out showing at least 2 strains of flu have become extinct due to mask wearing and social distancing over the last 18 months. Pretty dopeđ€

It’s flabbergasting to me that this far into the pandemic, with all of the publicly available data about how this thing has gone, that some people still think that all of the scientists and public health folks in the world have simultaneously gotten everything wrong.

We have a long way to go to the end of the pandemic. If we want to really get back to normal, we need to be 85% vaccinated. At the current rate, thatâs going to take us into July 2022. The only way to speed that up is through mandates.

Fairest take so far.
There’s lots of shit on Facebook. They have huge numbers of people working on analysing and fixing it. But trade-offs, org structure, conflicting priorities, language, tech limitations, politics and massive growth means lots of that work is broken https://t.co/f7BsQdsYo0— Benedict Evans (@benedictevans)

Hard to imagine how we progress as a nation and halt COVID19 transmission without countering the antiscience aggression from the far right. The default : this becomes more mainstream and we accelerate to 800,000 American deaths by yearâs end, including 80,000 Texans. https://t.co/rksRmC20h3

This is my approach.
Masks when in public indoor spaces (for now)
No masks when outdoors
If I know everyone I am around is vaxxed I donât mask. https://t.co/Y7G7vy0zFM

Good morning
Here’s a quick update on the state of COVID in the US
5 points:
1. Infections are down 50% from September 1
Last year, infections rose 100% from September 1 to October 31
So we are, at least right now, on a pretty different trajectory

Modeling study predicts hi post-Covid reinfection rate, avg 16 mths later. Shows need for vax after infection for personal protection (1 mRNA shot prob enough), & that low vax states may get lulled by short-term immunity from Covid cases but slammed later. https://t.co/DG4aWmmBpm
