@jburnmurdoch Have you any data comparing the junior doctor departures in the NHS vs the emigration of junior doctors in the Republic of Ireland?

[The BMA @TheBMA]

This morning’s @NickTriggle piece for the BBC contains a number of misleading claims about the BMA’s upcoming industrial action.

First and foremost, we are not “demanding the biggest pay rise”—we’re demanding that our members’ pay be restored to what it should be.

@andrewljudson Hey Andrew, could I DM you a question about the api key? Having issues configuring the api key. Without api key I am successfully able to hit the endpoint and return results but as soon as i add api key, always getting error with "valid api key must be provided"}

@Dr_Eoin_Malcolm Hi, this is something I would be interested in

@LindsayBbent Particularly IFN-I deficiencies

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

With a variant that spreads so far and so fast, the Omicron wave more than any other will be exceptionally good at seeking out the last few unprotected people, so even a small difference in the immunonaive share of the population could make a big difference to ICU pressure

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

What we’re holding out hope for is that England’s 'immunity wall' — HT @DevanSinha — will hold up well, and that the share of cases ending up in hospital or worse will be kept low.

Exactly how low will be critical.

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

Something remarkable from the @nytimes this day: an account of how climate change is damaging each of the 193 member nations of the UN.
This is the kind of journalism we need

Ireland needs to be part of the solution not contributing to the problem - let’s find a way to share vaccine technologies @MichealMartinTD @LeoVaradkar @OxfamIreland @AmnestyIreland @Kieranpharkin @susanmsmith @Irishimmunology @ChristineCeili @ClionaNi

The current global vaccine inequity status, summarized

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Vaccinations reduce Delta spread:
1. Prevention of symptomatic infections; ~95% effectiveness restored w/ boosters.
2. Reduced transmission (27-65%) among people who are vaccinated vs unvaccinated, as seen in multiple recent reports

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Data shows us that the higher the vaccination rate, the lower the death rate.

#COVID19 #VaccinesWork

[Peter Donaghy @peterdonaghy]

Data up to the 17th of November suggests that the booster vaccine programme is weakening the link between COVID-19 cases and hospitalisations in Northern Ireland, with a reduction in inpatient numbers even though the number of cases has increased.

[Reece Somerville @ReeceSomervill3]

Great news, allowing licensing of this drug to generic manufacturers will allow access to lower-income countries rather than being hoarded by wealthy nations as seen with vaccines

[Reece Somerville @ReeceSomervill3]

@DarranMarshall this may help explain the large rise in cases in mid-ulster

[Sima Kotecha @sima_kotecha]

That’s quite some stat from CMO Chris Whitty - 98% of pregnant women hospitalised by #covid are unvaccinated as well as 98% of those in intensive care
