@Mayyadah_HA Congratulations!

Today, I graduate from my General ID Fellowship at CCF! Grateful for an incredible journey,supportive mentors, and most of all my amazing family. Excited to share that I’ll be staying an extra year at the clinic to pursue advanced training in Transplant and immunocompromised ID

Our updated study, with longer follow-up, on effectiveness of the #influenzavaccine still fails to find the vaccine to be effective in protecting against #influenza this year. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

The #influenzavaccine varies in its effectiveness from season to season. This prospective study has been unable to find the vaccine to be effective thus far this respiratory season, in protecting against #influenza. doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

This is a must-watch. Rand Paul just WENT OFF at RFK Jr.'s hearing.

@Mayyadah_HA Congratulations!

Happy to share our study on Myroides infections! Grateful to Dr. Shrestha for his invaluable mentorship throughout this project. @nksmd Clinical Features and Outcomes of Myroides Species Infections academic.oup.com/ofid/article/d…

@SFabaraMD Don’t you worry. You are going to meet people who understand you and share your outlook completely.

2/ But for me, it’s never been about the money. Coming from a developing country, even my resident salary feels like a gift. It’s about passion and pursuing what truly makes you happy. That’s what sets me apart.

1/ Since I stepped foot in the US, I’ve been vocal about my dream of becoming an ID specialist. Along the way, I’ve faced countless negative comments, even from doctors saying, “You’re not going to make any money.” The only support I’ve had for this decision has been my own.

@0rf No, I did not remove it.

@nksmd Did you remove this chart? Why? x.com/0rf/status/187…

Our study on the effectiveness of the latest #COVID #vaccine is now available online for those who may be interested. doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…

The commercial imperative to extract money from human bodies is playing havoc. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the field of vaccines, and their place in determining the length of our lives. ~@bell00david Vaccines and the Length of Our Lives brownstone.org/articles/vacci…

We need to return to reality on pandrmics, rather than flawed models. The world has changed. The pandemic industry seems stuck in the Middle Ages. brownstone.org/articles/when-…

Excited for the official CCF Infectious Diseases Fellowship account ! Follow us for updates on ID education, research, and insights from our fellows. #InfectiousDiseases #MedicalEducation #IDFellows

‘Hybrid immunity’ is a construct of Pharma to sell vaccines that: 1. Don’t stop infection, or 2. The company wants to inject into already-immune people. But perhaps scientific journals should separate advertising from science. Immunity is immunity. cell.com/cell-reports-m…

@bell00david Fully agree. My position exactly. I have reviewed every paper that has been sent to me to “prove” the value of “hybrid immunity”, and each one of them is built on faulty premises and the findings misinterpreted to further the narrative that “hybrid immunity” is somehow better.

@DrDeepMD @ClevelandClinic It is wrong to vilify all vaccines. Vaccines have saved many many lives. However benefits of particular vaccines should not be overstated, and we should be willing to consider the possibility that potential harms from weakly effective vaccines may overshadow their benefits.

Really interesting study by @nksmd at @ClevelandClinic looking at healthcare workers w increasing admin of covid vax. Honestly, I try to mostly stay away from this topic… but if you’re not at least willing to consider there may be a deep lack of data in this space, you’re NGMI

@thatsnotmine125 @DrAseemMalhotra This study was not about vaccine efficacy or safety. It was about the usefulness of classifying people into “up-to-date” or “not up-to-date” on COVID-19 vaccination.

@DrAseemMalhotra The study doesn’t call into question the safety of vaccines, it also doesn’t look at health outcomes beyond infection. @nksmd

BREAKING NEWS: ‘Studies show NOT getting your booster is safe and effective’ Nice one Jo 👊👊👊

@bell00david Thank you for understanding the point of our study and for bringing it to the attention of the public.

Defending vaccine boosters gets complicated when they are associated with higher rates of the infection they are supposed to target. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

As defined by current CDC criteria, those who have not received a single dose of the bivalent vaccine are considered to not be up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccination. This study calls into question the validity of this classification. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

@EaglesOfFortune The error bars in the figures are the 95% CI’s. Table 2 has the HR’s (not OR’s as this was a Cox proportional hazards regression)

@nksmd Someone asked where are the OR's and 95% CI's in regards to figure 1 and figure 2

Important questions about duration of immunity after COVID-19 infection/vaccination, and timing and number of vaccine doses needed for those previously infected, are examined in this study. doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…

@gretchensacha @SCCM Congrats!

Delayed post but honored and shocked to achieve one of my career goals of FCCM status!! Too bad I can’t walk this year since I’ll be 37 weeks 🤰🏻 😔. Will miss everyone @SCCM Congress this year! #FCCM2024

@martin_ssanchez @CDCgov It’s important to consider absolute benefit too, not just relative benefit. May be a benefit to vaccination in this age group but it does not seem as great as is generally portrayed and is at a level where risks have to be considered

@CDCgov The benefit is 1 less hospitalization per 100k, regardless of hospitalization length. Seems to be way less than the risk of serious adverse event!

New data on CDC’s COVID Data Tracker show children ages 5–11 years who are unvaccinated are more likely than children who are vaccinated to be hospitalized with #COVID19. Everyone 5+ years should get vaccinated. See the latest data: bit.ly/3pnE2J8.
