For 17 mths we were not getting med supplies except some trickles. Now for 40 days even the trickling has stopped completely. Our patients are paying with their lives. the world has turned deaf ear. Allow humanitarian access to tigray please. That is possible even in active war.
@Moderna_tx saw $10.8 billion in revenue for the first half of 2022. That's $4 billion more than the first half of 2021 & it's primarily due to sales of the #COVID vaccine.
Despite the major public funding for the vaccine, Moderna has yet to #ShareTheTech with LMIC producers.
MUST READ: An excellent in-depth @Nature article by @amymaxmen on global vaccine equity, importance of open science, and need for self-reliance over charity.

I am delighted to announce that I have been appointed as an honorary associate professor with the university of Southampton. I would like to extend my thanks to those who have supported and encouraged me during this process. @UHSFT @UoS_Medicine @UHS_IPT@UHS_CritCare
Beware – humanitarian corridors sound nice – but what happens after the deadline?
Medics who choose to stay to provide medical services, and other civilians, DO NOT become a valid target.

The military has increased deployment around my home. No one is allowed to leave or enter. Our security guard and gardener have been violently arrested, beaten and bundled into 'drones' outside our gate. Their phones confiscated.

Cool new paper from Nathan et al on how Mtb can go into a 'dormant' state that prevents detection by standard culture. Intriguingly, the very similar cow TB doesn't do this....

In a global pandemic, inaction = death.
4 million people have died of #COVID19 since the #TRIPSWaiver was first proposed. Yet a handful of high-income countries continue to block it.
RT to tell 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇨🇭🇳🇴 to get on the right side of history!
The World is watching 👀
In countries with limited access vaccines inevitable further waves will lead to high transmission,illness, hospitalisations & deaths.High transmission will also increase chance new variants. It is enlightened self interest to make vaccines available globally & reduce transmission
💬 “If @moderna_tx were to share its tech with the @WHO mRNA Hub, the company could help increase the global production of COVID-19 vaccines now.”
We’re calling on pharma corporations to #ShareTheTech to save lives. ⬇️

The World Is Watching.
We are calling on 🇪🇺 🇳🇴 🇬🇧🇨🇭 to change course and stop blocking the #TRIPSWaiver ahead of the 12th Ministerial Conference of the @WTO next month.
#MC12#NoCovidMonopolies
To the governments blocking the #TRIPSwaiver: the eyes of the world are really just on you now.
What side of history do you want to be on when the books on this pandemic are written?

The great majority of adults have been vaccinated.
Four weeks working on a COVID ward makes stark the reality that the majority of our hospitalised COVID patients are unvaccinated and regret delaying. Some are very sick including young adults.
Please don't delay your vaccine.
