So fascinating @NatImmunol! A new function for #neutrophils in #tissue #repair! They “move” connective tissue, #matrix, into an #injured tissue to initiate repair. The nature of the transferred matrix determine #scar formation or #healing. https://t.co/FzXuoMrg1v

Ivermectin-COVID-19 study retracted; authors blame file mixup
'the study was found to have blocks of details of 11 patients that had been copied and pasted repeatedly – suggesting many of the trial’s apparent patients didn’t really exist'

Just imagine starting your day with swollen balls and ending with causing the largest vaccine misinformation event in social media history

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Why is Delta so much more infectious than Alpha?
The P681R mutation is a key culprit, in this work that pinpoints its role by reverting it back to wild-type, showing 🦠 replication drops to less than Alpha's

💉📉 Double vaccinated people were three times less likely than unvaccinated people to test positive for the coronavirus, according to the latest REACT-1 study data. #VaccinesWork

The irony of giving tocilizumab to unvaccinated patients who wouldn’t get vaccinated because it hasn’t been studied long enough is something I can’t get over

[Natalie E. Dean, PhD @nataliexdean]

We know vaccines reduce your risk of infection, but they aren't *perfect.* Then what fraction of transmission in the population is from the vaccinated? How might this change with new variants?

As the pandemic has dragged on, and as the gap has widened in how Americans experience it, some experts have grown less sure that lessons of empathy and unity from the Great Depression can apply today. https://t.co/MMZfFJt6Se
