Momentous day for #GlobalHealth. A malaria vaccine has been recommended by @WHO for the first time! 🦟🌍

Brian Greenwood says decision has the potential to save millions of young lives & shows importance of long-term investment in science.

After our initial excitement that we were finally getting a flexible season ticket, we've been left feeling somewhat disappointed! These new tickets do not offer the kind of savings needed. Feels like a real missed opportunity to get people back on board.

1/ We welcome the delay to the @NHSDigital plans to gather GP patient data #GPDPR. We feel it is essential that people feel comfortable to remain "opted in" to sharing their de-identified health data, which has enabled research to improve public health and NHS services @useMYdata

👉New paper in @ARD_BMJ by @ehr_lshtm and @OpenSafely

We followed 2.5M people who ever used NSAIDs from the general population and 1.7M people with rheumatoid arthritis/osteoarthritis) in England

We found no harmful effect of NSAIDs on COVID-19 death in either population

@TaylorMcLinden @OpenSafely @nature @EpidByDesign @MaartenvSmeden @bengoldacre @intuitiveEPI Also, just to note that we have made a number of changes from the pre-print to the final Nature paper, trying to clarify our stance on this. And avoid causal interpretations of our results.

@TaylorMcLinden @OpenSafely @nature @EpidByDesign @MaartenvSmeden @bengoldacre @intuitiveEPI Thanks for your interest in our paper! I’ve had a few email exchanges about this - here’s a screenshot which expresses what I think about this issue

Useful addition to the growing evidence base although what is of most value is @rob_aldridge commentary on what it means in terms of action and the key point we must ensure the 'new normal' addresses these inequalities directly with good jobs, good housing & strong communities

OUR NEW PAPER.

Factors associated with COVID-19-related hospital death in the linked electronic health records of 17 MILLION adult NHS patients.

Largest study of its kind ever, anywhere.

The power of UK / NHS data, realised.

JAMA rejected this letter from my colleagues & me ("low priority"), so we're publishing on twitter, hoping JAMA will take it more seriously.
