A new #LongCovid nationwide study from Scotland w/ matched controls, 6-18 months follow up, showed 6% no recovery, 42% had only partial recovery, with "poorer quality of life and wide-ranging impairment of their daily activities which could not be explained by confounding"

Note the difference.

Tragically, not everyone agrees with this fundamental belief.

Obviously, just caring about others should be enough to push for people to get vaccinated

And this is why I support the OSHA rule for vaccine mandates

And the CMS rule for healthcare workers

Because we need a functional society

And that means a functional healthcare system

[Dr. G. @bob_galen]

There are so many clinical scientists who knew this was virtually impossible given the “state of the art” in laboratory testing at the time. Didn’t the big time investors discuss this with their family doc’s during check ups or golf? Truly amazing how long this went on!

The conviction of Elizabeth Holmes signals "the end of an era," David Streitfeld writes. "In Silicon Valley, where the line between talk and achievement is often vague, there is finally a limit to faking it."

While new CDC isolation guidelines are reasonable, here's what I would have done differently

1. Required a neg antigen test after 5 days

2. Had different guidelines for vaccinated (contagious for shorter time) versus unvaccinated

3. Specified higher quality masks

In the last 72 hrs my phone has exploded with calls/texts/emails of people who have tested positive and are asking for advice. Thus I put together a 🧵with answers:
1. If I have symptoms and my RT is neg do I don't have COVID? Maybe or maybe not. Get a 2nd test 24 hrs later.

[Kurt Eichenwald @kurteichenwald]

More Americans have died of Covid in the last two years than died of AIDS from 1981-2000. And we have a vaccine to stop it. History will look back on this time in utter disbelief that a nation could be this ignorant, and could casually grow accustomed to such vast carnage.

The data is overwhelming: unvaccinated people are more likely to get Covid and MUCH more likely to get seriously ill and die from it. Vaccines aren't about any political party—they're about humans vs. the virus.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

The problem with vaccine waning 4-6 months later was 1st recognized in Israel in July, confirmed by more than 10 reports, and occurs with all vaccines. Protection is fully restored (or even exceeded) by 3rd (booster) shots.

The randomized trial of the Pfizer vaccine for children age 5-11 is published @NEJM today. The data indicate very high efficacy (91%, 95% CI 68,98)) a strong immune response and absence of any serious side effects among 2,268 participants
