1/18 AHA 2023: OK folks, the days are over when very few people tweeted about Lp(a), but no everyone is doing it 😀. Nonetheless, one still needs interpretation than simple reporting- so here goes my view of AHA.

L did #AvatarTheWayOfWater

@Skylinetaxis #miltonkeynes the worst taxi service ever. Taxi booked in advance post imagine dragons. No show. Lied repeatedly about having. Dispatched another car. Freezing wet 12 year old and I. Missed last train to London- forced to pay for taxi back home - reimburse me pls

I'm fundraising for Parkinson’s UK. Check out my @JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/fundraising/os…

@jessecouk @jakescottMD @florian_krammer Thanks so much Jesse!

@jakescottMD @florian_krammer For vaccinated. I have a hard time believing this is less virulent. Also interested in how much protection prior infection with delta offers.

Same statement, now based on more data.

@Theresa_Chapple @jessecouk Would love copy of preprint if you have it . Thx Andrew

@SamFazeli8 Get well soon Sam.

So it’s finally over. The delta variant has been vanquished from my body.

Why we care about correlates: Correlates are immune responses that allow us to predict whether or not a vaccine will be effective. Identifying these responses can mean faster vaccine approval and better understanding of how vaccines work. 2/ nytimes.com/2020/12/04/hea…

Excited to finally share our results of the immune correlates of protection of the Moderna vaccine. A short thread walking through some of the key results. 1/ medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

15 Tweet THREAD on current cases & trajectory: Cases this week have been bit lower than many expected (inc me!). Have we peaked? Here are my thoughts for what they're worth... TLDR: lots of possible things combining. I don't think this is the peak.

Person to be infected are 3 times that of someone vaccinted in May. Possible caveats are geographical spread (the outbreak did not spread to areas in which people got the shots late) and that people who are less healthy were prioritized. Same trend is seen with the young.

My colleagues @hillaalroy and @Meir_Marciano have tonight published the data leading the Israeli MoH to suspect that @pfizer vaccine's immunity is waning. In this graph, you can see infections and hospitalizations in the last 3 weeks, normalized. Chances of a January vaccinnated

May I please get at least 2 followers to copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening. #SuicidePrevention 1-800-273-8255 Just two. Any two. Copy, not retweet. #MentalHealth @sciencescanner

@stuartjdneil @devisridhar Where have you seen Stuart- I’ve only seen the brief mention in the Pollard paper ? Thx

(8/8) This “promising” phase 2 study will be taken as justification for moving on to a phase 3 trial as with all other anti-amyloid drugs. More lives are yet to be harmed on the unending pursuit inspired by our blind allegiance to anti-amyloid strategies.

#Donanemab for #Alzheimer, misleadingly spun as positive: “donanemab resulted in a better […] ability to perform activities of daily living than placebo at 76 weeks”. The data suggest otherwise. (1/8) #EliLilly @NEJM #ADPD2021 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

We mapped how all mutations to #SARSCoV2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) affect recognition by convalescent polyclonal human sera (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). Among implications: E484K (South African lineage) worrying for immune escape; RBD mutations in UK lineage less so (1/n).

@tim_cook @Apple THE WORLDS WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. 5 weeks waiting to receive replacement for dysfunctional iPad pro. 1000’s of excuses.

@DrHBurstein english breakfast I hope…

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I have actually been drinking ... tea.
