Three weeks ago, a group of Republicans voted against expanding and speeding up the evacuation of Afghans who supported the U.S. military and their families. You might think they’d be keeping their heads down right now, but… 1/? https://t.co/Q1dHLP2rNQ

Parents in Mask-Free School Districts Are Freaking Out. A working single-parent friend is homeschooling her under-12 kid to start the year because her community is relatively low-vax and anti-mask (and school is unconcerned). Total shitshow. https://t.co/JYuUB4FWjM

The CDC must do everything they can to track breakthrough infections. Having accurate, up-to-date information is essential for fighting the pandemic.

I keep seeing these “but we know masks don’t work” bullshit posts going unchallenged- let’s make sure we call them on it *every* time, don’t let it stand.
Keep it simple, here’s a recent, directly applicable meta-study:

On potential third doses, @ZekeEmanuel: “We do have data from Israel that appears to suggest that the third dose does decrease the number of cases, and I think that’s important. We still do know that the Pfizer vaccine and the Moderna vaccine…” (1/2) #AMRstaff

Our US Gulf Coast is on fire, and it was all predicted and predictable. The one-two punch: 1) the delta variant and 2) self-defeating defiance. Defiance of masks, social distancing, and now vaccines. “Death by antiscience” as I say https://t.co/UREnQtFuuX

#NewZealand is living in a different galaxy right now. In a country of 5 million, they’ve had 26 deaths total in the whole #pandemic. To put it in perspective, #Alabama, which has about the same population, has had 11.8K deaths. 454 times higher. #COVID19 https://t.co/psSn6DKmlQ

1/🧵 Ivermectin & Masks: A #COVID doctor’s opinion…
It’s not political. This is medical.
I’m a dad to 3 daughters w a brother who has Down syndrome. I validate parents who want kids to play freely in school & interact w/out a mask as if times were normal. But they aren’t… https://t.co/I0Z0IHUM3K— WesElyMD (@WesElyMD)

Pregnant? Get the shot.
Breastfeeding? Get the shot.
Not pregnant? Get the shot.
Not breastfeeding? Get the shot.
I fit into 2 of these categories and I definitely got the shot.

It wasn’t supposed to work this way.
Cases got down to zero in June after one of the most aggressive vaccination campaigns in the world.
Then came Delta. https://t.co/skbXX22h5n— Eric Topol (@EricTopol)

Fine @nytimes piece by @taraparkerpope on Long Covid after breakthrough infections. I’m quoted. Need more data, but clearly can happen. The possibility of LC, plus risk of transmission, are 2 very good reasons that vaxxed people should continue to mask up. https://t.co/PwvUVtOrkD

ER nurse last night on the unvaccinated: “We risked our butts seeing COVID for over a year because there wasn’t a vaccine. Now that there is, it feels like they want us to keep exposing ourselves to COVID so they can go about their lives. And that wasn’t the deal I agreed to.”

COVID Update: I’ve had dozens of people ask me with Delta here, what is the COVID end game.
Because I don’t know, I interviewed 6 experts on various elements— variants, vaccines, global, policy, ev biology & historical precedence.

The Delta variant isn’t ruining your fall plans.
Your fall plans are being ruined by people who refuse to get the vaccine.

@gbosslet If only there were a way to give people antibodies in a one or 2 step system that would reduce hospitalizations by nearly 100%. And if this miracle were free and available at basically any pharmacy or Walmart in the country. Wouldn’t that be great
