@drtimothyli Confirming a much older RCT as far as I can remember

@ABsteward @PharmacoJournal Always easier to publish what is already “known”….They showed no "effect" vs. peni/beta-lactamase or TMP/SMX which should raise eyebrows. The largest, very well done study to date did not see any differences https://t.co/WW6WkA2kKB

@krassenstein there’s nothing weird about this - their political credo is “we do it because we can”

"NATO is not the thing that Russia is afraid of. Russia is afraid of democracy expanding to Russia. Why are we in NATO? It is because we are afraid of Russia. And the only thing that really works – the only security guarantee that works – is NATO's umbrella," Kaja Kallas said in an interview with AFP in Washington.

Reading the people being named to lead the major health agencies, reminded me of Mbeki, infamous South African…>300,00 deaths and >35,000 babies born with HIV. 30 yrs later America wants go back to this. So scary. Banned medicines, promoted garlic as cure…

@mercedesschlapp It’s posted on the internet, so it must be true….

@NateSilver538 Both extreme progressives and Trumpists attack free speech under different disguises: hate speech and fake news (e.g. health) from the “progressives”, alleged defamation from the Trumpists… To my knowledge, Harris in contrast to Trump has never questioned free speech…

@TheLancetHIV @FrancoisVenter3 Two key problems with their conclusions: 1) They just assumed that primary HIV infection was not associated with significant weight changes and therefore weight increase post ART can’t be “return to health” 2) they did not control for the weight suppressive effects of TDF & EFV

Choice of antiretroviral therapy has low impact on weight... : AIDS https://t.co/ChPu1mQh8v …"Neither INSTI nor TAF use were indepen­dently associated with weight change, but EFV and TDF were associated with LESS weight gain..." (3/3)

[Henning Drechsler @hennwi]

Choice of antiretroviral therapy has low impact on weight... : AIDS https://t.co/ChPu1mQh8v ...In 4,194 PWH from Dallas, TX (USA) substantial weight gain during initial ART “…was largely driven by factors other than ARV choice…” (2/3)

"Everybody knows" that PWH on INSTIs or TAF gain more …weight a minute! Studies arriving at this (wrong) conclusion may have insufficiently adjusted for concomitant NRTI use... (1/3)

@MayoClinicINFD What is septicemia? I have practiced ID for 20+ years, still don’t understand what that word means….

@ChrisCillizza “Hard ceiling” somehow sounds like the “firewall” of Mi, Wi, PA in 2016…

[Henning Drechsler @hennwi]

@OFIDJournal Makes intuitive sense!

The last thing you'd do to prove that masks help protect against Covid is a randomized trial. Period.

@okwalding I don’t subscribe to the notion of not ordering tests because the result MAY be difficult to interpret…as long as there is a chance that it MAY help in decision making. Given that I will stay on board - I guess I’m just a curious cat….
