@quay_dr IMHO this attitude was/is pervasive throughout academic medicine. The town/gown disparity has been a subtle aspect of the medical education system for generations. The current crop of elite virologists appear to have taken this attitude to an unassailable self-regulated extreme

@Humanspective @ClareCraigPath @Johnincarlisle Thank you for highlighting this statistical trick. Pointed out as well January 2022 by Berenson. "Infections, hospitalizations and deaths all soar in the days and weeks after people receive their first vaccine dose...to the CDC-all these deaths occurring in the unvaccinated."

The Origin of COVID-19 and Why It Matters

"Understanding how COVID-19 emerged is a critical point on a steep learning curve
As we face the...societal upheavals of COVID-19, we must not lose sight of why we missed the warning signs and what we can do to prevent it from happening again."
Amen. Release all the files

@thackerpd @DrMakaryFDA "Evidentiary maximalism" should be the goal for any FDA-approved therapeutic. Expanding the 2018 Right to Try Act to include rare disease exemptions should be able to accommodate clinical reality without compromising the overall goal of quality randomized clinical trials

@anish_koka @techjudge Excellent summary.Vinay had the rare combination of unapologetic brashness with a scientific/epidemiological rigor which has been neglected in recent years.The FDA could have used his unique abilities for open debate and public education,but alas,the machine devoured one more ⭐️

@soncharm @IanSolliec This recent debate at Stanford summarizes perfectly the vast divide concerning the public health response to COVID. Minimal lessons learned by PHE. The same insanity very likely to be replicated for the next “pandemic”

@DrJMarine @DRsLoungePod @NIHDirector_Jay @NIH This debate at Stanford should be a model for discussion around the country.
The contrast in opinions between the two speakers was stark and reflects a divide which has barely budged since the COVID catastrophe has receded from our primary focus.

Estimates of up to 38% of ILI-like illness remain as unknown etiology even after thorough testing. Probably explains why a universal flu vaccine has not been produced after 40+ years of study

@DrJMarine @DavidIAuerbach AI generated informed consent forms based on questions the patient is asking. The pre-printed legal mumbo-jumbo form should be relegated to the dustbin of history. And keep it simple

[murray gilman @murraygilman]

@DrJMarine That’s excellent.
For COVID, just using attack rates in an informed consent explanation could have been helpful. As simple as you can get provided by AI

@jsm2334 Unfortunately, polling data post-RCTs reflected a belief that there was a mortality benefit.
