I support Robert F Kennedy Jr.’s decision to defund research for mRNA-based vaccine development. I understand that @POTUS has a meeting with @SecKennedy in an hour.
Other vaccine platforms need to be pursued. The risks associated with mRNA are too high.
@tylerblack32@CDCgov Also, another question, does the CDC report you reference include data on how many of these patients had been vaccinated against COVID?
@SapnaKmd Also, the modeling is based off of 3 to 7 critically ill cases out of 2100 cases in the largest series reported out of China. With an “n” that small the uncertainty of larger projections is huge.
@SapnaKmd It’s not a good article. The slope of logarithmic expansion in the United States was already changing by April 6. They admittedly did not use VPS data. They do not include standard error bars To represent the uncertainty of their projections.
@abusultaneh@childrensatl@noracolman Also at our hospital we are asking COVID rule out patients on nasal cannula to have a standard surgical mask place on them. Hui’s article shows the muffling effect of a surgical mask on vapor dispersion with HFNC to 50LPM. The mask brings the vapor plume down to just 5 cm!
COVID-19 guidelines released. Access care recommendations for critically ill patients with COVID-19. Updates expected as new evidence becomes available. #SCCMSoMe#coronavirus https://t.co/4HcCNlWnQE
