94% protection against severe disease and death w/ booster during Omicron surge, per today’s MMWR

[Joseph Kanter @JoeKanter]

MMWR out today provides more evidence of effectiveness of masks in reducing transmission.

New CDC mitigation guidence is levelheaded. When risk low, relax measures and defer to personal preference. When risk increases, encourage universal masking.

This is an iron lung, basically a negative pressure ventilator. Every year thousands of kids would end up in one of these. Why don’t we need them anymore?

Children have become the collateral damage of many adults who frame refusal of masks and vaccines as an issue of personal freedom rather than the common-sense public health measures that they are.
