@wendywchapman @DT4Health Such an important issue that doesn't get discussed enough or considered in the design of technology!

Florida just announced the results of an analysis that they performed, saying the results show "an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39" for the mRNA vaccines, and recommend this group not receive these vaccines.

Is this justified? Let's look at the data...

[Wanda Pratt @ProfWanda]

@katestarbird So sorry to hear what you are going through. Your work is critical for our society's survival! We need better laws and policies to protect you and your team and so many others fighting to combat mis and dis information.

This is why 2nd boosters should be available for all health care workers now. A report on ~30,000 Israeli HCWs indicates 65% lower risk of breakthrough infections during the Omicron wave (4 vs 3 doses) @JAMANetworkOpen

This is our @CDCgov
X No warning on BA.5
X Still says 2 vaccine doses ="fully vaccinated"
X Says 5 days is all that's needed for isolation when 5 days is the median length of infectiousness
X 1 in 4 age 50+ w/ 2nd booster (<-survival benefit)
X Transmission is the accurate map👇

@elena_agapie So sorry to hear that. Take care, and I hope you feel better soon.

[Wanda Pratt @ProfWanda]

Great tips embedded in too common story of how challenging and inequitable our healthcare system is

1/ After 2 years of working hard to avoid getting-- and spreading-- COVID, the pandemic finally caught up with my family.

I thought I would share some of the things I learned along the way.

You think you’re safe. You’re not. The right is coming for trans kids, trans adults, LGBTQ people, anyone who gets pregnant, anyone of color, anyone on a visa, anyone immunocompromised. The only people who are safe are healthy rich white cis het men. Sharpen your pitchforks.

[Wanda Pratt @ProfWanda]

So proud of my kid advocating for more research on chronic health issues in transgender people.
