#COVID19 has put an extraordinary strain on lab medicine leading to global shortages of blood tubes & other critical resources.

@CSCC_CACB & CAMB have assembled two #choosingwisely lists on conserving supplies for when they are needed most:

How can hospitals conserve blood collection tubes amid a global shortage? Dr. @CStreutkerMD & @DrFahadRazak speak about the central role blood tests play in medicine and how hospitals are managing with current supplies: https://t.co/BMfuP2lat6

hi there! are you mourning the loss of your antibodies, months out from getting your COVID vaccine? don't be—your absolute numbers might be down, but the average *quality* of the antibodies you have now is much higher than it was before. 1/

Excellent piece by @zeynep “The Unvaccinated May Not Be Who You Think” which hits on so many important points.

“Science’s ability to understand our cells and airways cannot save us if we don’t also understand our society and how we can be led astray.”

1/ I’m super excited to post our recent findings on the mucosal immune response to COVID-19 vaccines. https://t.co/3KT6PsA4ab

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

We should worry about the future "worse" variants that will likely result from uncontrolled spread.

But they are not likely to "escape vaccine-induced immunity." There are several reasons why this is the case.
