A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 3 different drugs for Covid—metformin, ivermectin, or fluvoxamine—all of which failed to benefit with respect to primary endpoint, possible metformin benefit for a 2° endpoint

We went from sequence of #SARSCoV2 to highly effective vaccines in 10 months, which was unprecedented. But nearly 2 years later, we see no replication of such hyper-accelerated effort, despite remarkable advances in science
Today @ScienceTM yet another

The major newspapers and broadcast networks should file a FOIA request with the National Archives, for all materials that were declassified under Trump’s standing order.
Then the Archives can come back and say the order never existed, there’s no record it ever happened.

In today’s NYTimes article on #poliovirus in NY, an expert is quoted as saying vaccinated people are protected against the virus. This is WRONG. They are not protected against infection. They are protected from getting paralysis. Vaccinated people may still get infected.

Today’s complaint about CDC handling of #poliovirus in US: release the nucleotide sequence of the recovered vaccine-derived isolate from NY. Let the virology community do a molecular clock analysis to determine how long the virus is circulating – likely more than one year!

This is an excellent article by @EricTopol. It eviscerates the @CDCgov, and rightly so. I cannot understand what they are thinking.

Fear is a survival mechanism which has helped our species survive & evolve. It keeps us alert & prepares us to deal with danger.
#COVID harms brain/organs, blood vessels, nervous system, & has killed over 1 MILLION in the U.S.
It’s dangerous.
Fear is an appropriate response. https://t.co/TWG8MbwxG4

CDC is refusing to provide information on PCR primer pairs to detect #poliovirus in wastewater. They don’t want others doing surveillance. Sounds like their early attempt to control PCR testing of SARS-CoV-2 which did not work out well.

Scientists have discovered a new type of polar bear.
It can live in both the North and South poles, is prone to extreme mood swings and has shown interest in other bears of both genders.
It’s a bi-polar bipolar bi polar bear.

Y’all, it’s okay to say President #Biden isn’t doing what he promised on #COVID19 & that he has let us down.
It doesn’t mean we want fascism. It doesn’t mean we won’t still vote to preserve fair elections & human rights. It means we want better. And we should. Things are BAD.

“The CDC position that we need to “live with Covid”, as espoused with its guidance, should be countered by exploiting the science and our clear capabilities of fully containing the virus, once and for all.”

If you want to promote spread, you’d use a 5-day isolation plan without rapid tests when the majority of people are still virus culture + and infectious
And continue to promote a deceptive metric that 40% of Americans are in high-risk spread zones, when it’s 90%

How it does not protect the vulnerable
X 5-day isolation policy
X Only 6% of immunocompromised Americans have received Evusheld prevention
X The “Community” level metric is contrived and deceptive
X “Fully vaccinated” should = 3 shots; 4 shots for age 50+
X Ignores #LongCovid— Eric Topol (@EricTopol)
