Our Enterics team at Hopkins is looking for a new post-doc & a project manager to work with our group on exciting projects on cholera genomics, diagnostics, & adult diarrhea burden estimates. This is a great chance to work with a large international consortium. DM if interested.

Reaction from a #COVID19 #booster is a good sign of your body working hard to build #antibodies, but if you don't develop symptoms after your #shot, you're still developing an antibody response - @Amanda_Debes of @JohnsHopkinsSPH in @medpagetoday https://t.co/ATElOw2yrB

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Driving home tonight, I thought about Republicans' floor speeches today on the "sanctity of life".

And how this concern for "life" apparently doesn't extend to the kids who were shot today in a school in Michigan.

So I turned the car around, and went to the Senate floor.

"The findings suggest that either spike mRNA vaccine will work well against SARS-CoV-2, even if a person doesn't experience symptoms after vaccination or if they had a prior infection by the virus," said @Amanda_Debes. https://t.co/2OG3Nkfdo4

No symptoms or prior #COVID19 infection doesn’t mean #vaccines aren’t working, say @HopkinsMedicine researchers. @AaronMilstone @HopkinsKids @Amanda_Debes @JohnsHopkinsSPH @JAMAInternalMed https://t.co/xQdIfBuocq via @HopkinsMedNews

"What about myocarditis?", you ask

Relative risk post-Pfizer: 3.2
Relative risk post-infection: 18.3

Antibodies to S1 spike protein after mRNA vaccines for @HopkinsMedicine healthcare workers

The benefits vastly outweigh the risks: Vaccination will prevent illnesses and deaths from #COVID19 that far exceed the number of generally mild myocarditis cases expected. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns, and schedule an appt to get vaccinated. https://t.co/bfOV5VzBpq

“#TouretteSyndrome looks different in every person. Not everyone has the same tics or severity of tics and then you add the co-occurring conditions like ADHD or OCD on top of that. It’s a complex web to get the right treatment. (1/3)

@drlouiseivers @BrighamMedRes @AaronRichterman @DrWilfredoM @rumaraj123 @AbraarKaran so well deserved, and im not at all surprised to see it! you are amazing and your trainees are so fortunate to work with you!

[Amanda Debes, PhD, MS @Amanda_Debes]

@HeatherDSnell I’ve asked every student I’ve had for years to help me to do this! With young kids and a long commute, it would improve my time. Also love TwiV and there is the infectious disease puscast. But they’re just summaries. I want someone to read a paper with intonations. No pdf reader

@kmurt1 Literally I’ve been saying this for YEARSSSS. PLEASE

@tedcruz @tedcruz U are just like Donald Trump-a bully who mocks children with a disability. Bully’s like you should not be in leadership position-you are part of the problem. Educate yourself on Tourette’s & how rare cursing is in fact a tic, & the stress of any tic & STOP BEING A BULLY
