Rogue CDC

Resist the plague

[Dr Ellie Murray, ScD @EpiEllie]

Don’t tell me it’s “safe”, tell me what level of death or disability you are implicitly choosing to accept.

[Rogue CDC @RogueCDCgov]

The CDC says that unvaccinated people can now pretend to be vaccinated

[Rogue CDC @RogueCDCgov]

When the CDC says “your health is in your hands” after loosening their guidelines, they abandon their responsibility to safeguard public health. Disgraceful.

[CDC Director @CDCDirector]

Your health is in your hands. If you are unvaccinated, please get vaccinated as soon as you can to decrease your risk to #COVID19. If you choose not to be vaccinated, continue to wear a mask and practice all mitigation strategies to protect yourself from the virus.

[Rogue CDC @RogueCDCgov]

@CDCDirector Public health means taking care of everyone, especially the vulnerable.

This is unacceptable. You should RESIGN!

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

If you are thinking that vaccination (any regimen) will solve this problem, I have bad news for you. Even if we could magically produce enough doses, we can't get anywhere near enough people vaccinated with even 1 shot.

To keep B.1.1.7 rare, we must stop transmission.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

If you want to see what happens when B.1.1.7 becomes the dominant strain, you can look at Ireland, now the highest new cases per capita globally

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

I just received a positive COVID-19 test result after being locked down in a secured room at the Capitol where several Republicans not only cruelly refused to wear a mask but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one.

[Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 @HelenBranswell]

2 doses on board for the president-elect.
Is the outgoing president going to be vaccinated? One wonders.

[CDA-AMC @CDA_AMC]

Some encouraging numbers—poll finds that 68% of Canadians will definitely take the vaccine, 19% said they will probably get the shot. #COVIDVaccination https://t.co/vZSkDwXMH8

[Florian Krammer @florian_krammer]

New York entered vaccine rollout Phase 1b yesterday. This now includes individuals 75 and older, categories of grocery store workers and teachers etc. and many more. Detailed info here: https://t.co/cWFhgFiiEk

Get vaccinated. We can beat this virus!

[Journal of Experimental Medicine @JExpMed]

Neurological symptoms are frequently observed in #COVID19. Using three independent approaches - mouse model, human brain organoid and autopsies of COVID-19 patients, @ericsongg @virusesimmunity team demonstrates evidence of #SARSCoV2 neuroinvasion. https://t.co/voWDoQ2MAO

@EricTopol @AnnalsofIM @mcgillu Adding Prof @VirusesImmunity recent thread on prognostic implications of saliva v NP #SARSCoV2 viral load.
Appears increasingly that from both diagnostic & prognostic implications,
Saliva > NP

[Ruth Ann Crystal, MD @CatchTheBaby]

Saliva viral load is a better predictor of disease than nasopharyngeal viral load.

New study from Yale:
Saliva viral load is a dynamic unifying correlate of COVID-19 severity and mortality https://t.co/ZHda6pOwEY

[Craig Spencer MD MPH @Craig_A_Spencer]

A sobering but honest thread by @DrTomFrieden on whether #COVID19 could ultimately take the lives of a million Americans.

[Physicians for Human Rights @P4HR]

With over 374,000 lives lost to COVID-19, the consequences of ignoring medical professionals and scientific experts are apparent. We have the power to slow the spread of the virus if we let science lead and make sure to wear masks. #BecauseScience. RT if you agree 😷

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

New developments in NYC’s vaccination program are coming fast and furious.

Here’s the latest on who can get vaccination, where and when sites are open, and how to schedule.

[Florian Krammer @florian_krammer]

Important info about COVID-19 vaccines in NYC. Get your shot if you are eligible.

[Prof. Shane Crotty @profshanecrotty]

This is not fast enough, San Diego County. Vaccines only work if you use them!
