Why do we still need #rapidtests? Epidemiologist and immunologist @michaelmina_lab discusses the use of rapid tests as #PublicHealth tools. We discuss the differences between rapid and PCR tests; and why they’re useful even for the vaccinated. harvardmagazine.com/2021/michael-m…

@thehowie @apoorva_nyc @VirusesImmunity Show me the data on breakthrough infections in those 13 million J&J vaccinations. Then I’ll believe this. 17 people and a questionable correlate of protection? See Novavax vaccine’s impressive neutralizing antibody levels against the Beta variant, yet only 49 percent efficacy.

“People who were inoculated with the J.&J. vaccine “are relying on that primary response to maintain high levels of antibodies, which is difficult, especially against the variants,” she said.” @VirusesImmunity

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine Novavax: superhuman neutralizing antibodies yet only 49% effective against the Beta variant. J&J and mRNA vaccines show reduced neutralizing antibodies to Beta yet robust protection. Neutralizing antibodies don’t equal protection.

Just published @NatureMedicine: For 7 vaccines, the neutralizing antibody levels are highly predictive of the magnitude of clinical efficacy, support long term protection vs severe illness, and preserved efficacy vs variants nature.com/articles/s4159…

@FISCrossCountry The call against Klaebo is ridiculous. Just look at the angle of Bolshunov’s ski as he deliberately tries to cut Klaebo off. I sincerely hope FIS comes to its senses and reverses it.

It's time for the FINAL competition of the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf 2021 💥 Closing off in style with the 50km C - who's going to take the last remaining title of World Champion today? #fiscrosscountry #oberstdorf2021

@mellabarb @HarvardTechXfer @HarvardMagazine @Harvard Hi Melissa: Thanks for pointing this out, it is a very important principle. I certainly would have mentioned it if I'd known.
