Wondering if you should get your baby the new RSV shot?
I’ve studied respiratory viruses like RSV, and their vaccines and treatments for years
Here’s a 🧵 of key info
We just had a baby last week
We chose to protect our newborn with it
And we’re lucky we could get a dose

@mehdirhasan@MonicaGandhi9 I say this as an admirer of how effective you are at your job, and as a public healh worker who has been working in COVID-19 response since Jan 2020, and before that worked with people living with HIV where I learned about Dr. Gandhi’s work.
@mehdirhasan Truth is, Mehdi each surge has been significantly different from the precious ones in terms of morbidity and mortality outcome. @MonicaGandhi9 is a harm reduction expert, that is seen to be most effective approach in getting buy-ins from folks. Fear does not work.
@michaelmina_lab@ccwake1 I really like this interaction between the two of you. Acknowledgement, empathy, understanding that nuances exist, and honest and respectful. May be there is a hope for twitter. Hope all will be well with your daughter, Catherine.
Both the airline and the governing agency are handling this tragedy horribly. Nothing new or encouraging from new government so far, seems like hell bent on getting tv, social media hits/ hollow praise.
@KanakManiDixit The so called democratic culture was muddled well before NC voted in favor of PKD’s govt. The fact that PKD with little over 10 percent of votes is the PM is undemocratic. Who cares what they privately agreed on before the election. People had spoken. And yet here we are.
It is affront to representative democracy for a party with little over 10 percent of seats to claim prime ministership. We will continue to be f***d with this mess. At least pretend to respect the votes. #nepal
The more laundry detergent you use past a certain point, the dirtier your clothes become. You just need two tablespoons, @Wirecutter advises.

@KanakManiDixit Why can’t they use machines to count them? They can always manually recount if margin of victory is small or if candidates do not trust the results (for which they will have to pay for recount if original result is upheld).
@sanpokh Hillary called Trump voters deplorable in 2016 and might have cost her independent voters. May be impact on this on Nepali politics is not as significant but should be. You don’t threaten voters if you think you are winning.
@MonicaGandhi9@Bob_Wachter@j_g_allen Hope the State considers lifting reporting requirement for single case from schools as part of the strategy. School administrators are overwhelmed and reporting each case is mandatory currently. This is in addition to labs reporting to CDPH, that will stay intact.@GavinNewsom
