Thank you to our partners in @WHOGOARN for making recommendations on how the world can get out of the #COVID19 pandemic and be better prepared for next time. We agree that a better financed @WHO and emergency response partners is key. https://t.co/e9nNWFMHGo

Ivermectin: the largest randomized, double-blind trial yet conducted, with early treatment, indicates there is no difference compared with placebo. It doesn't work. Period.

We spoke to @profdalefisher about how to encourage the vulnerable yet reluctant elderly to get vaccinated against #COVID-19 and what our new "normal" may look like @cnbci

“To maintain the zero strategy is proving essentially impossible,” @profdalefisher tells @dan_murphy as China shuts down Shanghai Disney and attempts to combat a record COVID-19 surge.

[CNBC International @CNBCi]

Will the Beijing Olympics become a spreader event for Covid-19?

@profdalefisher of @NUSMedicine tells CNBC that it is unlikely considering the “wall” between the games and the Chinese public.

The @sporeMOH has stopped publishing daily reports of new unlinked #Covid19 infections, but @hcsghcsg thinks it is an important statistic. I asked two experts, @profdalefisher and Dr Jeremy Lim, what they thought about this: https://t.co/CFoHs3r6qQ

Saddened to read that SG is considering booster shots for young adults. More than half the world has no access to vaccines. This is not science. https://t.co/L3DKs8XjLp

“It will be impossible to contract trace due to the larger numbers of vaccinated people and antibodies they carry.” @profdalefisher told #60Mins the Delta variant is in a league completely of its own.
