💰 Bonus: Several ACIP members failed to disclose serious conflicts of interest.
•Kulldorff & Malone were paid expert witnesses against Merck
•One member linked to anti-vaccine org NVIC
•Another resigned over stock holdings
📌 Transparency is essential- and was promised- but here, it was missing.

🚨 Over 28 falsehoods and common anti-vaccine talking points were shared during yesterday’s ACIP meeting. The zone is being flooded with misinformation, and it’s impossible to debunk it all in real time. But here are some key ones you should know. 🧵

Not a big fan of cefdinir (or as my friend Jerz says, trashdinir). Really enjoyed this article. 👏🏼 https://t.co/zmdS1XeUsw

Bill, you’re a hero! Keep up the good work ☺️

Another day another ceftriaxone to cefdinir transition **STOPPED** in its tracks 🛑✋🏼

This time the E. coli susceptibilities came back right as the patient lost IV access, and boy did they reinforce my point of avoiding cefdinir 😎💁🏼‍♂️

Any other NICU #neotwitter people see more COVID+ babies in the last 3 weeks than you’ve had the rest of the pandemic combined? ☹️😭

It seems clear that vaccine mandates are the only thing that works. We need a vaccine requirement for air travel. They have it in Canada and society hasn’t collapsed.

Just spoke with a hospital in Kentucky who was looking to transfer a patient - we were their 45th call.

Quarantine is what you do after exposure to a COVID+ person

Isolation is what you do when you are COVID+ yourself

[Alex Geiger, MD, MPH @letitBAlex]

On call today and admits so far have been COVID, COVID, flu, COVID, COVID. All unvaccinated. Two asked if they could get their vaccines now. They can’t, but you can. #GetVaccinatedNow

[Adam B. Hill, M.D. @Adamhill1212]

When my toddler really wants something she politely says “peas”. So, here goes nothing. Peas get vaccinated.

Peas.
