“More than 2/3 of the common side-effects people experience after a Covid jab can be attributed to a negative version of the placebo effect rather than the vaccine itself.” We should: Inform people systematically about possible re…lnkd.in/gq9Tgvkc lnkd.in/ggJQdX5B

“We are not waiting to see how dangerous this new variant is. We’re already determining it.” James Hamblin lays it out very clearly in this excellent piece. We cannot ever manage this virus by remaining reactive, by waiting and…lnkd.in/e9EnTiAT lnkd.in/eKAaydRk

Report: All countries remain "dangerously unprepared" for a future pandemic, even after 2 years of managing the current one. Good to see public trust in authorities as key metric in this analysis. Public health depends upon public…lnkd.in/d4BQaCAC lnkd.in/dNRvzqGQ

Omicron COVID-19 variant update: Detected in a lot of countries. But more concerning is that 20 countries have already reported community transmission. And they probably found it because they looked for it. lnkd.in/duJDN3zZ lnkd.in/dfZhprVv

In September, unvaccinated people were 5.8 times more likely to get Covid and 14 times more likely to die from it, according to CDC. Protect yourself and the people around you—get vaccinated.

Bullshit. New dads can hold and soothe the baby. Change diapers. Give the baby a bath. Do laundry. Clean the house. Go shopping. And yes, even bottle feed. Especially in the middle of the night. Paternity leave is important for the whole family, equitable, and manly.

These assumptions based on steady rate of vaccination to 80%. Unlikely. Will prob level out once willing people r vaccinated. then begins harder job of engaging “wait & see” & hesitants. W states opening up early, this will be even harder. ow.ly/ABg230rWEF8

@MackayIM Icon arrays are an effective way of communicating numbers. Should be more widely used for communicating, for example, incidence of rare adverse events (which often run to 1 in 1 mill) after vaccination.
