@PekingMike @ChuBailiang @ktbenner 2. Release of the Liu siblings comes after US & Canada released Meng Wanzhou, Huawei executive held in Canada, and China’s release of Canadian prisoners Michael Kovrig & Michael Spavor. Here’s our first story on the Liu case & growing use of “exit bans.” https://t.co/ZhXxhd5GpL

China has allowed Victor Liu & Cynthia Liu, American siblings, to leave after forcing them to remain in the country for more than 3 years under an “exit ban." Their mother, Sandra Han, also American, remains in jail. By @PekingMike @ChuBailiang @ktbenner. https://t.co/jvJuKGQFvC

Before I was a virologist, I was traumatized by Old Yeller. The “best doggone dog in the West” was euthanized due to rabies virus infection. Rabies is one of the deadliest viruses out there. Symptomatic rabies is lethal. But good news! It’s entirely preventable with vaccines. https://t.co/FwhT5GA8DA

It’s great news that Pfizer submitted data on the covid vaccine in kids 5-12 to the FDA. I really hope that an EUA or approval goes through quickly. Our kids are highly exposed at school and need to be protected. Plus, we can’t control covid without controlling covid in kids.

I wrote about the vaccine mandate... that's actually a vaccine OR test mandate. Adding a testing clause might help the mandate survive. But we can't forget that testing and vaccination are *not* interchangeable: We need both, not one or the other. https://t.co/ALBhHpFL8V

@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 18:56:51 +0000 2021
@dukeye @AnjaCastensson @robfoot Previously infected people have a very broad spectrum of immune responses, not all of which are protective. It's very difficult to distinguish who is protected and who is not based on antibody testing, so vaccination is still recommended for recovered COVID patients.
@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 18:32:03 +0000 2021
@AnjaCastensson @robfoot No. I don't oppose subgroup-specific vaccine recommendations that are based on evidence. That's different than claiming, without supporting evidence, that vaccines are more dangerous than they are or that vaccines are unnecessary for people you've decided are "low-risk."

@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 17:37:28 +0000 2021
@robfoot It's not particularly rational or data-driven either to essentially say I'm too emotional to agree with you. I engaged with their arguments repeatedly: infection-acquired immunity comes with an unacceptably high burden of disease and death compared to vaccination.
@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 17:30:22 +0000 2021
@AnjaCastensson @robfoot Also, Jay Bhattacharya claims to be "pro-vaccine" too. But only for the people he deems "vulnerable" enough to merit vaccination. For everyone else, he is pushing infection-acquired immunity. "Pro-vaccine" is often used as a shield by people who are pushing anti-vaccine ideas.
@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 17:27:25 +0000 2021
@AnjaCastensson @robfoot Glad she encourages vaccination for some, but she has not been "cautious" to use vaccines in kids. She has opposed it for months. And she recently authored a ghastly paper using VAERS data that immediately became a talking point for explicitly anti-vax propagandists.
@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 17:12:51 +0000 2021
@robfoot I didn't shout EXTREMIST at anyone and in fact engaged with your arguments including about the extremism of the views these people espoused. I'm not saying this because it's cathartic...I'm saying they promote extremist views on public health and I oppose their recommendations.
@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 17:09:13 +0000 2021
@robfoot That is incorrect. The risk of an adverse outcome (of any kind, but including myocarditis) is significantly higher to an otherwise healthy young person with COVID than the risk of an adverse reaction to a vaccine.
@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 17:05:41 +0000 2021
@scarrascopro @TracyBethHoeg She has repeatedly claimed that vaccinating kids is unnecessary. And I disagree that because no RCTs have been done on masking children specifically there's no evidence for benefits. Why would masking kids be different than adults, where clear benefits have been shown?

@robfoot And you may disagree, but if you believe that it is okay to just let SARS-CoV-2 tear through unvaccinated children, endangering them as well as their teachers, their families, and their communities, then you are also espousing an extreme view. Mass COVID=mass preventable death.
@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 16:43:34 +0000 2021
@robfoot I don't characterize everyone who disagrees with me an extremist. I call these people extremists because their positions *are* extreme and completely opposed to public health. They take positions that are implicitly anti-vaccine and anti-mitigation, which will endanger everyone.

@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 16:23:29 +0000 2021
@smithma388 @portofino_22 @AFTunion Correct. Immunity is natural whether acquired through infection or vaccination. However, acquiring it through vaccination at population level has a significantly lower death toll. Advocating for immunity through mass infection is immoral & fundamentally opposed to public health.

@mgerrydoyle -- Wed Sep 29 00:27:03 +0000 2021
one comment--can't remember who said it--was that if the libyans had been soviets, they'd still be alive. and it's probably true; soviet and u.s. aircraft encountered each other a lot, and were so used to each other and so generally trusting that no one wanted to start a war...
@mgerrydoyle -- Wed Sep 29 00:27:02 +0000 2021
but no one (not even the libyans) was ever able to say exactly what the migs were doing or even whether they were aware of the f-14s, which were flying below them and may have been lost in ground clutter (even above the sea) for the migs' clunky radars
@mgerrydoyle -- Wed Sep 29 00:27:02 +0000 2021
it all happened in international airspace. there was a lot of examination of the incident after the fact, trying to figure out *why* it happened. on its face, it appeared that the mig-23s played chicken with the f-14s until they got too close and "found out"
@mgerrydoyle -- Wed Sep 29 00:27:01 +0000 2021

They don’t take issue with Tim Scott though, because Tim Scott is a Republican senator. They take issue with “media reports.” It’s really the media at fault for reporting what Scott said. It’s a senator-involved falsehood. https://t.co/usZ0d0IdCY

Conservatives did not spend several decades and billions of dollars to put impartial justices on the Supreme Court, and there's no reason to believe justices who lie to public about that, right before running off to toast Heritage with Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/ySFCF7HGm2
