@ejwillingham @EricTopol @LizSzabo @SDCountyHHSA It’s expected seasonal June-Aug spikes
No idea why anyone would post about cases when nearly everyone has some immunity from natural infection or vaccination

The actual relevant data is ICU and deaths since cases are now often symptom free healthy people

[Rick @Rick82Ramirez]

@drklausner Here’s San Diego/CA’s most relevant data, ICU.
Though this website must not be aware of the sunbelt states June to August expected seasonal spikes

https://t.co/s2Ar8D73CV

[Rick @Rick82Ramirez]

@drklausner Yup seasonal spikes gets less clicks I guess. The seasonality & geographic patterns in virus incidence were noted by Edgar Hope-Simpson, many years ago.
We’ve known what states are low enough on latitude they have summer peaks & posted about it a year ago

[Rick @Rick82Ramirez]

@drklausner @DrJayVarma @CarlosdelRio7 @ASlavitt Yes and we should testing T-cells a lot more. We’ve had FDA authorization for the https://t.co/jrY2rnT7Qe test since March 5th

[drklausner @drklausner]

Don’t we think those with immunity due to prior infection should be given equal consideration? Europeans do. The scientific evidence does. @DrJayVarma @CarlosdelRio7 @ASlavitt

Join me in conversation with the brilliant Molecular Biologist @gerdosi , as we discuss the science which debunks the tyrannical covid restrictions which are imposed on us today.

@to117 @JECorn @Jamin_Tiger @SteveMWeeks @Kdubtru CV19 vax still in safety trial, not risks/side effects free
Take https://t.co/jrY2rnT7Qe test prior to check if need to take a vax or not. Don’t trust anyone not providing this option & letting you put yourself at unnecessary risk.
Plus it’s an endemic seasonal virus here to stay

[Rick @Rick82Ramirez]

@to117 @Jamin_Tiger @SteveMWeeks @Kdubtru Don’t need vax if you’ve already have broader immunity from natural infection(CDC Feb’20-March‘21 study 114mil in US https://t.co/fLf2FKnBS8) so now over half pop

Current vax is a shot, isn’t made to provide mucosal immunity, just help the immune naive reduce severity of illness

If your goal is increasing vaccination, you might want to tone down the fear-mongering speculation

[Rick @Rick82Ramirez]

I would tell them…still worrying about getting really sick from Covid is like freaking out about getting into a car accident while pulling out of your driveway

[Stefan Baral @sdbaral]

@PintSzPorcupine I now say, covid is basically over for you now. Ie, the likelihood that you will get really sick with this virus is exquisitely low.

But yep, have updated my shtick.

[Rick @Rick82Ramirez]

@kidsCovidGamble @ChristinaCtance @GYamey Maybe this is why it wasn’t. Hopefully the misinformation fear mongering media is finally trying to be somewhat honest and listen to the actual pediatric infectious disease experts like Dr Munro

[Alasdair Munro @apsmunro]

Finally, some more evidence that #COVID19 is not that different to other respiratory infections

Risks of serious complications in other organ systems are significantly higher after hospitalisation with covid, but not compared to hospitalisation for other pneumonias

@MichaelYeadon3 @SwordtheChemist @wolfie_smythe @InCytometry @ClareCraigPath @FatEmperor @Kevin_McKernan @simondolan @JuliaHB1 @AllisonPearson @ClarkeMicah @toadmeister Ok so your point of commenting this was to make some claim about made up signatures, while showing made up signatures, but not as proof of the made up signatures because you were just pointing out that a lot were made up but not anymore. Cool story. Got it. Thanks

@catvaxlax @MichaelYeadon3 @wolfie_smythe @InCytometry @ClareCraigPath @FatEmperor @Kevin_McKernan @simondolan @JuliaHB1 @AllisonPearson @ClarkeMicah @toadmeister Who the hell is tory and Bojo, politics ? Haha
I’m in California. I follow scientific literature not unhealthy divisive tribal politics. You just showed an example of exactly why I don’t

1/ On 19 July 2021, JCVI published their statement on #Covid19 vaccination for 12-17 yr-olds

If you only heard that JVCI did not recommend vaccine for teens then you missed out on a wealth of information & recommendations in the report

Here’s why 🧵

Eradication of SARS-CoV-2 (no more left on the planet) is impossible, for many reasons

We know there are massive animal reservoirs of the virus

It is here to stay forever, whether we like it or not
