@MK_IDpharm@firstline@SIDPharm@accpinfdprn We launched at the beginning of the COVID lockdown. Primarily email communication, but implemented links to our content EVERYWHERE.

@IDstewardship@tckremmin Point about different populations aside - is there really a good reason to think at this point that any in vitro active mAb would not show similar efficacy in the same populations the other 4 we're studied in? Tho I agree: majority of use is in populations not studied.

Is watching the 1984 Ghostbusters movie killing people?
Recent data show death rate of 10-59yr olds who have watched the 1984 Ghostbuster Movie is 2x higher than those who have watched the 2021 Ghostbuster movie
I don't know how to explain this other than movie-caused mortality
