@TxGrrrl@WhiteHouse@ashishkjha@CDCgov@CDCDirector@WHO@LazarusLong13@kprather88 Oh, but we have that... since 2020. See e.g. this article and its citations: https://t.co/n70LifqYgT
But as we say in Spanish, "there is no worse blind person than the one that doesn't want to see" (No hay peor ciego q el q no quiere ver)
Everyone Is Getting Covid In Summer 2024 Because Covid Is Over And Seasonal And Getting It Again Builds Your Immunity So You Won't Get It Again But You'll Definitely Get It Again This Winter And Maybe Next Summer Because It's Seasonal And Over But It'll Be Fine, Honestly...
I’ve been asked for my thoughts on the rumor that the CDC will be changing #covid19 isolation guidance. Here are a few key points to consider:
1. The science behind isolation measures has NOT changed and should not be disregarded simply because the public has grown weary of following them.
2. Transmission of the virus is STILL a significant concern. It's not just about the number of deaths, but also the impact on education, work, and the long-term effects of COVID-19 (ie long covid)
3. Although treatments may be available to some, it's important to recognize that many doctors are still hesitant to prescribe them to those who need them most. This disconnect puts vulnerable individuals at risk, and CDC policies should address and protect the vulnerable- not ignore them.
4. We must be cautious about making health and science recommendations based on public opinion rather than scientific evidence. Ignoring inconvenient truths will only lead us down a dangerous path.
5. That being said, we are in a different stage of the pandemic now. I would support no isolation after a negative test result, as long as schools and students have the necessary resources to implement this safely. I would also consider no isolation after completing a course of Paxlovid and resolving symptoms. However, it's crucial to understand that the science does NOT suggest that transmission is suddenly irrelevant or that isolating infectious individuals is now unnecessary. Not for covid, or for flu, or for most any respiratory virus (we’ve spent decades trying to convince people to stay home when they’re sick- ie infectious).
Let's prioritize both scientific evidence and the well-being of those most at risk when considering any changes to isolation guidelines.

@michael_hoerger You think there would be an opportune time that wearing a mask wouldn’t be necessary for? Trying to be sensible with risk if the US does reach a low point in the next month or two.
@michael_hoerger From your assessment of risk in group numbers, how would you assess wearing a mask outside in a 25-30 person group setting? I coach an outdoor sport but have close contact with high school aged kids. Right now I am wearing a mask while we are still in this surge but curious if…
@ChrisCuomo My family says the vax is causing all these problems but their only proof is VAERS data. Need to crack down on people like Peter McCullough spreading misinformation/disinformation.
Alex Berenson debunks the claim that COVID vaccines are causing excess deaths
“I don’t believe that this entire regulatory apparatus would ignore screaming danger signs. And I don’t believe doctors would.”
More republicans than democrats believe in the GoF lab origin of COVID. (Most democrats reject this)
More democrats than republicans believe in the long term damage from COVID infections. (Most republicans think COVID is less dangerous than the flu)
Someone please explain.
The ongoing winter surge will cause millions of #LongCovid cases in the U.S.
Dr. Birx warns of "the aerosol nature of the virus," that "it will never be flu," & "to be cavalier about getting repetitive Covid infections is really a huge mistake."

@EricTopol I have read this a couple of times. Based on figures, the severity didn’t show up stat sig compared to omnivores after adjusting for all covariants. I’m no scientist but seems to me trying to say it’s protective from infection? But would we not see a stat sig for severity?
Me: Covid causes Myocarditis
Them: No it doesn’t! Show me one study proving that #Covid19 caused it before the vaccines rolled out
Me: Shows them multiple pages of medical literature from 7 different articles on Covid + Myo in the year 2020
Them: These are all lies!
