It’s worth noting that the strike that killed Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq, one of Trump’s major escalations against Iran in his first term, was on Jan. 3, 2020. @playbookdc

Just to set the record straight: One man's opinion does not determine CDC policy. In fact, Offit doesn't even advise the @CDCgov , he advises the @FDA which doesn't determine policy, like who gets the vaccine.
Please wait until Tuesday. ACIP runs very extensive benefit-risk...

Wait...? "the updated booster is not intended for everyone. It’s for people in high-risk groups – those who are age 75 or older, pregnant or immunocompromised...The general public should not expect to need to receive the latest COVID booster," pbs.org/newshour/healt…

@DrJaimeFriedman My daughter had flu b last week.

School has been in session for 2 days and already illness, including covid, is increasing. Make a plan now to get your kids their flu shots for this year as soon as they are available. It might be another rough fall/winter.

New clinical update for RSV: AAP recommends that all infants, especially those at high risk, receive the new preventative antibody nirsevimab to protect against severe disease caused by RSV. Read the full recommendations here: bit.ly/44qBFb3

"Use masks and tests if you wish" is not public health guidance. That is how you talk about sprinkles on your sundae.
Ashish K. Jha@ashishkjha
Largely agree with Tulio. At this point, not super worried about EG.5 We will get new variants. They will cause increases in infections The answer is the same Keep up w vaccines Get treated if infected Use masks and tests if you wish And don’t worry about every new variant
English
@DrKate4Kids @CDCgov @AmerAcadPeds I’m so sorry. Hoping your daughter gets better soon. It seems so short sighted to not go back to using precautions when rates go up if we want to keep kids in school, parents at work, and people out of the hospital.

@PensivePedsMD @CDCgov @AmerAcadPeds My daughter got covid 4 days into school first infection ever. Our family is still symptom free just waiting to test positive. Then I will be out of work as a doc for 7 days putting huge burden on our clinic

With school starting in the South amid increasing COVID transmission, I would love to see some reminders from the @CDCgov and @ameracadpeds about COVID guidance.

@md_wallach Also, at least in my world, the GLP-1 agonists are now in vogue with people who don’t really need them.
English
@md_wallach They are both good and both have side effects, but we know FDA and CDC are about to approve updated vaccines in the face of rising cases and hospitalizations. Wall Street is betting nobody will take them.

What does it say about our society that the stock prices for drug companies with weight-loss drugs are skyrocketing, but stock prices for drug companies with COVID vaccines are tanking?

Some public health experts have recently said most Americans can ignore Covid, yet see my thoughts in @GlobeOpinion. Because in my humble opinion, Ignoring COVID-19 is still not an option for most Americans👇🏽 bostonglobe.com/2023/08/07/opi…

Schools start this week in many areas of the South. This also coincides with extreme heat that has been driving everyone indoors. We are setting ourselves up for failure if there are delays getting these new COVID vaccines out.

Kids have been getting the short end of the stick with COVID vaccines from the beginning. Really hoping they don't leave kids behind this time.

See if your community's wastewater data is available through this link. Look at the section titled, "Covid-19 Wastewater Monitoring by County and U.S. Territory" and put in your state and then look for your county.

If you'd have told me 2 or 3 years ago that a real-time wastewater surveillance algorithm would become the primary way to detect Covid on the rise, I wouldn't have believed it. But it is now: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @PNASNews @MathematicaNow @belmusse

1/Please share this thread on behalf of my physician colleague, Eunice Stallman, who is facing the nightmare of her 9mo daughter, Zoey, being diagnosed with brain cancer several weeks ago. @BlueCrossIdaho has added to their anguish by obstructing access to vital treatment.

@PensivePedsMD On the other hand, he's got a class in the fall but he's "cancelled" for the spring!

Good things happen when minimizers f-around and are found out. As Judge Crenshaw observed, Bhattacharya's testimony is "contradicted by .... his own sources."

I wrote 3 different responses and erased them all. I'm too upset to appropriately put my thoughts into words.
But I will, because the employees of in-n-out burger deserve our support.
