Expert is the use of real-world health data for public health surveillance, drug and vaccine safety, and clinical trial optimization.

Should vaccines contain mercury?

When CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said no, the American Academy of Pediatrics got upset, defending mercury. @AmerAcadPeds

Don't preach to the choir. The ONLY way to restore vaccine confidence is to put a vaccine skeptic like @RobertKennedyJr in charge of an evidence-based vaccine research agenda.

@Tufts_Emen @Ultiworld @Ultiworldlive And about 15 yards out from attacking endzone when game was delayed. Great work against the zone. 30 more seconds and they would have scored.

@CharlieBakerMA "Violence"? That's it? Looking for leaders to speak with moral clarity. Murderous rampage and massacre seems clearer. Sadly for our civilization, your comment is one of the better ones given weakness coming from University Presidents.

@DrJBhattacharya @CDCDirector Or this: https://t.co/Bk1Uc9GHiH that found elevated risk but didn't find space to include it in the abstract.

@DrJBhattacharya @CDCDirector How about this from the CDC. https://t.co/Vw1G0JpGFZ

@TracyBethHoeg Thanks for this. Looks like a nice interrupted times series with comparison series, very strong quasi-experimental design. Outcome could be difference in difference. Could model effect if the mask optional intervention.

🇳🇴 Norway re covid in schools
"Only adults that have symptoms are encouraged to get tested
Children don't need to be tested even if they have symptoms
Children should stay home if sick but can return to school when they have been fever free for 24 hours"

Massachusetts is a national leader on pediatric vaccination, and data from our robust testing programs have proven schools are safe.

It's time to give our kids a sense of normalcy and lift the mask mandate for schools.

With home tests widely available more public tests will be + due to confirmation testing. Testing for travel or camps can drive rate down even if cases are rising. Rate could go up and cases go down at the same time. Reconsider.

[Jeffrey @Jeffbrown34]

@HealthyBoston @MayorWu got the covid metrics wrong. Positivity rate isn't a measure of public health, it measures testing. The rate can go up or down independently from cases based on testing patterns and availability of home tests. It makes no sense. Basic math. @MeghnaWBUR

[Joseph Allen @j_g_allen]

Very smart from @nataliexdean

Current metrics - cases and % positive - are biased and getting worse (eg 500M rapid tests don't get recorded), and wastewater is great for trends, but doesn't tell us about who is getting infected.

Solution: random sampling

@j_g_allen @DrLeanaWen @MeghnaWBUR if hospital capacity is a key metric then preparation for next wave should focus on creating a Public Health Corps that can step in to staff beds. Like Army Reserve but of clinicians who could fill in. Issue is staffing, not beds.
