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

Here's Ontario cases and hospitalization by vax status, w. pop. adjustment, the minimum needed to interpret this. The vaccine is lowering the pop.-level risk of serious illness by ~92-97%. Another way: You're ~30x more likely to end up in the ICU if you're unvaccinated. https://t.co/v8Lvin8Odi

Everywhere in the world considers 3,275 weekly cases per 100,000 people “ridiculously high transmission.” But for some reason, when a school like Saint-René-Goupil sees this rate in its students, we tolerate it. Is this how little we care about Ontario’s two million students?

So, there is actually no reason anyone needs to know your HIV status. Covid is the total opposite. That's why it is entirely appropriate to ask for someone's vaccination status. Are we all understanding, yet?
@Mikeggibbs -- Tue Sep 28 22:19:12 +0000 2021

@DFisman 11.7%. Actually Professor Fisman understates the problem. With Delta being about 50%+ more likely to lead to serious cases, ie hospitalization, ICU admission, and death, adjusted across all age groups, leaving out the increased contagiousness of this variant, it is a disaster.

The solution to the pandemic, in its simplest form, is to keep Rt below 1. Bad things only happen when Rt goes above 1. Set Rt<1 as the target, instead of hospital capacity which has failed miserably, and things will get (and stay) better.

At the end of the day it’s about transmission. Uncontrolled transmission leaves the virus in charge and leaves us vulnerable. We need to put our energy into keeping transmission low instead of trying to guess how many shark attacks our ICUs can handle.

We aren’t New Zealand. We’re highly vaccinated already which is a huge advantage. This isn’t about lockdowns. This is about smart choices that will shape our future. Deciding to keep transmission low (Rt<1) by addressing airborne transmission and using tools like rapid testing.

@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?
@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 16:53:24 +0000 2021

@angie_rasmussen -- Wed Sep 29 16:50:42 +0000 2021
@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 16:37:31 +0000 2021

@BernieDogs4 @ilhamabuljadaye @AFTunion I'm for effective non-pharmaceutical interventions that reduce exposure risk in addition to vaccination, which includes well-fitted masks. So yes, I'm pro-N95 and KN94, as well as other types of quality masks and face coverings with good fit and filtration.
@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.

Two choices on vaccination. 1) Get vaccinated. Protects you and those around you from serious infections, hospitalization, and possibly death. 2) Don't. Leaves you exposed to a deadly virus and the likely chance you will infect those around you. How is this even a question?

I want to offer to run all the errands for the FDA officials reviewing Pfizer data for 5-11 year olds. We just need people to sign up to cook, clean, and watch their kids. This way, they can work around the clock reviewing data so we can get 5-11 y.o. 1st doses by Halloween.

@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:18:06 +0000 2021
My dad was not in the ICU, but in a physical rehab unit of the hospital to help him with his leg. They now say they did not know he had pneumonia at that point. He collapsed on the floor in his room and was left there, unnoticed, for six hours.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:20:06 +0000 2021
When they found him he was blue and had an oxygen level of 50. He did not have Covid. He was taken to the ER and put on a ventilator, but they had to put him in *a storage room* because there physically not enough space due to all the unvaccinated Covid cases.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:15:11 +0000 2021
What happened was that while in the hospital, my dad caught viral pneumonia that went unnoticed. The whole state was in lockdown, and every hospital ICU was filling up with unvaccinated Covid patients. There weren't enough resources. The governor begged people to get vaxxed.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:22:19 +0000 2021
Twenty-four hours later, he was off the vent and his oxygen levels were restored. My siblings, who live closer, flew in. I spoke to him, and he was out of it but okay. Surely he would get treatment now. We thought that was the worst of it. It was not.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:11:12 +0000 2021
When I called and he admitted that he was in the hospital, he was more annoyed than anything else. He tripped, he hurt his leg, couldn't go home for a week or so. How irritating. How dumb. He blamed himself. He loved me, hoped I was well, he was fine, etc. That was the last call.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:25:20 +0000 2021
It was later explained to me that this hospital decided to *re-intubate my father* due to a lack of hospital resources. They couldn't manage. He could not see a cardiologist or a pulmonologist, they were all busy. They could not run the needed tests. So they kept him on the vent.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:07:08 +0000 2021
In August my dad was living independently in rural New Mexico, as he has for years, in a beautiful place with a view of the mountains. He got vaxxed against Covid as soon as it was available, wore masks, and was waiting out the pandemic like the rest of us. Then, he had a fall.

8. But any way you slice it, there's been a lot of testing for #flu during the pandemic & not much flu found. It appears to be inching (millimetering?) upwards, but it is still well below what it would normally be at this time of year. -30- https://t.co/kYufa4QDLC
@HelenBranswell -- Wed Sep 29 03:32:30 +0000 2021
7. Another caveat: Pre-Covid, most #flu tests were likely ordered when someone had #flu-like symptoms. In the pandemic, I would imagine a lot of these are tests that look for Covid or flu or other respiratory pathogens. I don't know what that does to the comparability of data.
@HelenBranswell -- Wed Sep 29 03:32:30 +0000 2021
6. We're still not back to April 2020 #flu levels, but the percentage of positive tests is slowly rising. A caveat I don't know how to adjust for: The denominator varies per 2-wk period. Mostly >100K, sometimes >200K tests, a few times <100K. https://t.co/yuGqG3YOp5
@HelenBranswell -- Wed Sep 29 03:32:29 +0000 2021
5. I wanted to see how 0.68% test positivity compared to the rest of the pandemic. The main graph is Aug 2019 (to the left is the 2019-2020 flu season; very active) through Sept 2021. Flu vanished in April 2020. The inset is then on. We're still not back to April 2020 flu levels. https://t.co/GLxXzXkUUR
@HelenBranswell -- Wed Sep 29 03:32:28 +0000 2021
4. Aside: Another Q about #flu is whether a family of flu B viruses, B/Yamagata, was driven extinct during the pandemic. Two B/Yam viruses were reported in this @WHO report but as @trvrb would say, let's see if sequences get logged into the databases. TBD. https://t.co/t9eiuV9MVu https://t.co/pMhOragFeS
@HelenBranswell -- Wed Sep 29 03:32:27 +0000 2021
3. How much #flu is out there? Of nearly 276K flu tests run in 88 countries from 8/30-9/12, 1,884 were positive for flu — 0.68%. During the same 2-week period in 2019 (ie before Covid) 7.4% of tests globally were positive for influenza. In 2020, it was 0.04%, ie almost none. https://t.co/C4JKtkKHHK

@Just_Curius 1. Dunno. A lot will depend on whether we're going to need to be boosted occasionally or regularly. If the latter, there may be room for next-gen vaccines that combine Covid & flu. If someone comes up with a good nasal vaccine, that should find a market. Otherwise ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sanofi, which hasn’t yet managed to produce a Covid vaccine, has some interesting plans. It’s pivoting its mRNA work to flu, believing there isn’t room for another mRNA Covid vax. But it hopes its recombinant protein Covid vax could be a universal booster. https://t.co/N85zjyREvc

Some of that is happening. Biden’s American Rescue Plan is an incredibly important pandemic-preparedness bill that doesn't look like one. But more needs to happen, and neglect is already setting in. The pull of normal is strong but normal led to this. 7/ https://t.co/6D2ENWBrRx
