#Infection #Diseases that could affect your #health and #life

[Shmuel Shoham @ShohamTxID]

We have the medicines to prevent nearly all hospitalizations from COVID in the US. With vaccination before exposure and monoclonal antibodies after an exposure or at early stages of infection, we can all but prevent anyone in US from dying of COVID-19. Let's do this!

[Houssein Safa, MD @hsafaMD]

Today I convinced three patients to take the covid vaccine. Today was a good day.

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

The vaccines are holding against Delta, but too many people are holding off getting vaccinated. That's our biggest challenge right now in the US.

[Dr Melvin Sanicas @Vaccinologist]

#Vaccines remain highly effective in preventing severe #COVID, hospitalizations, deaths. Breakthrough #infections among vaccinated individuals are uncommon. In the US & many countries with robust surveillance systems, majority of new #SARSCoV2 infections are among unvaccinated.

If you’ve already had #COVID19, you should still get a COVID-19 #vaccine. Studies show that COVID-19 vaccines provide added protection to your immune system. COVID-19 vaccination helps protect you from serious illness if you get sick again. Learn more: https://t.co/FJMon7WlFO.

People not fully vaccinated had a higher probability to be hospitalized and/or die for COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people in US

KEEP WEARING THE MASK—We card-carrying epidemiologists (with formal doctorate in epidemiology) know what we are talking about. Vast majority of 700+ epidemiologists surveyed says we would keep wearing masks for 1 year or longer. #COVID19 #MaskUp

7) However, with masks + other mitigation, the vaccine supported epidemic math completely changes and becomes possible to stop faster variants!!

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

4) “In large crowds outdoors, like at a concert or protest, 88 percent of the epidemiologists said it was necessary even for fully vaccinated people to wear masks.”

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

2) “When federal health officials said on Thursday that fully vaccinated Americans no longer needed to wear masks in most places, it came as a surprise to many people in public health. It also was a stark contrast with the views of a large majority of epidemiologists surveyed.

@JacGoldberg Las vacunas anti-COVID-19, junto a los fármacos han demostrado ser las medidas preventivas más efectivas para detener los focos epidémicos en comunidades y en países enteros, como Israel.

[WorldTropicalMedicine @MedTropicalUCV]

@JacGoldberg Entiendo y comprendo tu honestidad y frustración. Vacunarse contra COVID-19, disminuirá las posibilidades de que infectes a otros, que te proteja contra la infección de las temibles variantes de SARS-COV-2 y que si te infectas la enfermedad sería asintomática.

[WorldTropicalMedicine @MedTropicalUCV]

@JacGoldberg Todos debemos tener la posibilidad de vacunarnos, de poder demostrar que somos ciudadanos responsables, “Venezuela necesita vacunas ya!” para iniciar la inmunidad de rebaño necesaria para vencer la pandemia

[WorldTropicalMedicine @MedTropicalUCV]

@JacGoldberg También podrías evitar las dramáticas consecuencias de sufrir de lo hoy se conoce como síndrome post-COVID-19, hasta por 1 año post-infección.
