I am reading these Booster docs in disbelief
Are we really going to deploy a national booster campaign on the basis of an uncontrolled study showing that Ab titers (surrogate) are Non-inferior to what they were after dose 2 (historical control)?

I’m checking all patients‘ CBC & CRP. Procal, ferritin, LDH waste of resources? Already caught several pre-symptomatic Covids just w elevated CRP, WBC left shift. Platelets also up. Low cost, rapid turnaround. Do this on all asymptomatic patients and help flatten fast/cheap. 🙂
Last week, I mentioned that I would seek to extend our #COVID19 emergency health declaration.
Tomorrow at 9am, we will have an emergency council meeting to extend that declaration.
You can watch tomorrow’s session on @HTVHouston. #COVIDー19

"Ancient" & "Eastern"? A common argument put forward by fans of alternative medicine: it's unfair to use standards "Western" science. This is wrong on many levels, but also b/c most CAMs ARE relatively recent &/or "Western". @picardonhealth@AlanLevinovitz@DrJenGunter@McGillOSS
@CaulfieldTim@UAlbertaLaw @AllerGen_NCE @UAlberta You play a critical role in this project!
The #microbiome is truly exciting but there is risk of #scienceploitation--where the purveyors of unproven therapies leverage science hype in order to push therapies that have little or no evidence to support their use.
