This characteristically excellent piece by @edyong209 raises an idea new to me, both fascinating and disturbing: that long Covid has similarities to ME, and that perhaps (oft marginalized) ME is a "long" form of other viral diseases. https://t.co/b2d5hCBk6f

I know that everybody who wants a #Covid booster doesn't care how the decision was made or if it was made badly. They just want dose 3 (or 2, for J&J recipients). But the way this happened was ... not good. @matthewherper explains. https://t.co/C16wMfnHgZ

@glassmanamanda They think there won’t be room for another Covid MRNA vax by the time they could get one through approval. They are pushing on with a recombinant protein one that could be authorized in early 2022.

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

Breakthrough cases of polio—including deaths—were common during early polio vaccination. What kept us safe was not perfect vaccine efficacy.

I love a post exposure prophylaxis vaccine. So so cool. If you think you’ve been exposed to rabies—even if it’s only a possibility—PLEASE get vaccinated.

@TheRealDarinZ @SeattleJay3 @stevekylerNBA 3. I don't understand this question. 4. My education tells me to refer to multiple studies that have shown that vaccination of recovered COVID-19 patients acts like a booster and induces potent, likely protective neutralizing antibody responses comparable to full vaccination.
@angie_rasmussen -- Mon Sep 27 20:37:01 +0000 2021
@TheRealDarinZ @SeattleJay3 @stevekylerNBA 2. SARS-CoV-2 mutates less than influenza. Also there are many influenza strains and subtypes that all contain different variants. For SARS-CoV-2 there is only 1 virus with variants. It is less diverse than influenza, can't reassort like flu, and has a lower mutation rate.
@angie_rasmussen -- Mon Sep 27 20:35:23 +0000 2021
@TheRealDarinZ @SeattleJay3 @stevekylerNBA 1. The goal of vaccination is reduction and (if enough are vaccinated) elimination of disease burden. The goal of eradication is elimination of the virus. Eradication is not possible for most viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, because they can infect other species.

@HHIDavidson @ClaireBerlinski @DSteelmanLaw @mileskimball @dandolfa Breakthrough cases happen with all vaccines. They are not developed to prevent infection, but to prevent disease. And a number of studies have been sequencing breakthrough cases. They are caused by delta, which doesn't have the mutations most associated with immune evasion.

@angie_rasmussen -- Mon Sep 27 20:20:13 +0000 2021
@HHIDavidson @ClaireBerlinski @DSteelmanLaw @mileskimball @dandolfa Scientists are often wrong. Falsifying hypotheses through experimental testing is a cornerstone of the scientific method. But the thing is, all the experimental evidence to date falsifies your hypothesis that the virus is mutating to the point that vaccines don't work.

And there's no "overwhelming research" showing that vaccines (or anything else) makes the virus "mutate faster." There is in fact zero research showing that

Trolls are really out in force on this one, painting me as mentally unstable for getting tested again. FYI, my workplace mandates these tests: weekly screening plus an additional test if you develop symptoms. I am very glad @bu_tweets takes COVID seriously though. https://t.co/V4UpZ2Oqvl

Americans always ration health care. It’s just usually based on who has money. Rationing only makes news when things are so dire that hospitals start doing it based on who most needs care and help.

@mamabook @KendraWrites Yea!! In my geriatrician reporting days, the folks I spoke with LOVED working patients who had complex conditions — and I’m sure it’s super rewarding to improve those individuals’ lives! But it must also be nice to *not* have to deliver bad news or make a plan of care

A few weeks ago, I accidentally booked a physical with a new doc who is an internist...who focuses on geriatrics. Hearing him excitedly read my blood work back to me is the confidence boost I didn't know I needed.

@AylinGraves @KendraWrites @DonaldHTaylor @susie_dent In Romanian, portocala = orange (fruit), portocaliu = orange (color.) Similar in modern Greek. (Probably came to Romanian through Turkish, I would think. ) Does "turuncu" mean anything else in Turkish? (like a spice or anything)

@KendraWrites But it won't be as difficult for someone who has no relationship with the stuff, I don't think. When my mom died, I paid the movers to pack up her apartment as well and I think that was wise.

4. What is their responsibility to the public? How do we hold them accountable? What happens if public and private predictions diverge? If we go with the private one and it's wrong what happens? Who deals with the consequences?
@KendraWrites -- Mon Sep 27 20:29:07 +0000 2021
3. some countries who don't have the money for great weather data themselves depend on the US for weather data (they interpret it themselves). Same countries that are at risk from climate change they hardly caused. What happens if they lose that data?
@KendraWrites -- Mon Sep 27 20:29:07 +0000 2021
2. there's real fear it will lead to an erosion of federal weather forecasting - because public money will head more towards private entities - meaning only places/ people who pay for private weather will have access to it.
@KendraWrites -- Mon Sep 27 20:29:07 +0000 2021
1. because accurate weather forecasting paid for with taxpayer dollars is why hurricanes have gotten less deadly despite more people being in harms way.

Do children/young adults tend to have better clinical outcomes than other groups? Yes But time & time again we've seen that younger populations spread the virus incredibly well. Most are unvaccinated. Two things can be true. Hell, even three or four can be true!

@notdred @AaronRichterman Well, given how terrifyingly good Delta is finding the unvaccinated, if you got a Delta-specific vax, you'd want to immediately direct it to the unvaccinated with blanket coverage. What are the odds of that happening? It might turn into be fourth booster in wealthy countries.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 21:43:37 +0000 2021
@AaronRichterman @notdred The part I've been thinking about is can you imagine what might happen if we got a Delta-specific booster? All the wealthy countries will buy every last dose while whatever mRNA capacity we have will likely get directed to that. Talk about suboptimal local minima.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 21:10:15 +0000 2021
@notdred @AaronRichterman Well, of course you can't advise individuals not to take it—that is the MD/clinical view, and I'm not disputing it at all—but you can still see the broader point that "it will otherwise go to waste" or "it's already here" is a reality of our making.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 20:17:20 +0000 2021
In any case, after looking through the history of how the aerosol/airborne debate actually went down, versus what the textbooks said, I think it's really useful to look at history at times with fresh eyes. Did we really know this, or did we conclude something and kept asserting?

One informed dissent to my "likely"—though I'll keep the original point: pandemics end and viruses don't stand outside of all known biology or history. We're facing a coronavirus (not the first time), and there are already vaccines. https://t.co/Nx7sOUcXrC

@roby_bhatt -- Mon Sep 27 17:53:10 +0000 2021
@zeynep @jbloom_lab You didn't ask me, but I find the anosmia more convincing than the age structure of severity - I think the latter is just about novelty (ie, it's more about us humans than about the pathogen). All-cause mortality has a similar trend (https://t.co/dhGWBzmxvF) https://t.co/EH6iZqKLrA
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 20:11:44 +0000 2021
Would be really interested to read a history of symptom accounts of the 1890 pandemic from primary sources (including non-medical). I had read papers (and know specialists who think so) that suggested non-influenza—instead another coronavirus. I had found the anosmia compelling. https://t.co/3l1rdWOn9X
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 19:24:21 +0000 2021
@jbloom_lab @wanderer_jasnah The previous maybe? pandemic influenza is 1857-1858. (Though obviously ~winter epidemics). So about a generation to 1890. I want to summon a dissertation to being here by a medical historian to go through what became "assumed" and what might stand out. https://t.co/JuGOBxIa2l
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 19:04:37 +0000 2021
@wanderer_jasnah @jbloom_lab So a grad student going through the archives for primary descriptions (especially early on) globally might be able to provide a lot of clarity to the symptom set. (As "conclusions" spread, you see stuff become homogenized circularly: there was a lot of communication).
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 18:54:59 +0000 2021
@wanderer_jasnah @jbloom_lab I see an amazing project for a historian here. I don't have a systematic collection, but "loss of smell" (and some other neurological stuff) does come up as symptom of 1890 and that was my cue—though, yes, a lot of dissent to it. Someone hunt the archives! https://t.co/j2Bl8GtMJh https://t.co/OBzhRfPqca
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 18:30:27 +0000 2021
@jbloom_lab @Science54900201 So my guess would be that a deep historical dive would unearth a lot of detailed accounts that probably never got collated together, or looked through modern clinical eyes.

@jbloom_lab @Science54900201 I've definitely seen distorted/perverted smell/taste mentioned in multiple histories... (I'll look again for more). This looks like a great project for a historian, though,collect contemporary to accounts. (like this: https://t.co/5Bsvu8SGjE)

@realBannanna @TonyBurnetti @wanderer_jasnah @mugecevik @andrew_croxford @ChiefStevieP @justsomeoneDK Pointing out pandemics end is not a precise prediction about the severity or the timeline of the endemic phase.

@WilliamBHoenig @mugecevik @andrew_croxford @ChiefStevieP @justsomeoneDK And I think that's exactly the problem: it's hard to tell regular disagreement, interpretation, open questions etc. from the crankery especially when there are a non-zero number of MDs or PhDs with the wildest claims (vaccines are causing case spikes, modifying DNA etc.)
@zeynep -- Tue Sep 28 13:35:20 +0000 2021
@WilliamBHoenig @mugecevik @andrew_croxford @ChiefStevieP @justsomeoneDK But that's perfectly fine. It was a valid, interesting and actually productive set of disagreements about an open question. (Though haha someone reported it to Twitter's misinformation system as if the exact pathogen for 1890 is a misinfo problem—folks have time on their hands).
@zeynep -- Tue Sep 28 13:20:35 +0000 2021
@mugecevik @andrew_croxford @ChiefStevieP @justsomeoneDK Yeah, people see a credential and some jargon and assume it's scientific.

@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 20:52:14 +0000 2021
@midnucas Yeah I'd seen that. There is a lot of back-and-forth between various people in the field on the details (that I will wait for them to write in papers) but my personal interest is how certain types of knowledge evolves over time, and the symptom set is a great starting point.
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 20:43:10 +0000 2021
@Lebeaucarnew We have very strict food standards for restaurants and, more importantly, for the food supply chain. Not the same as saying there's no food poisoning especially at homes or mild cases. People used to die in droves before it got regulated. Now, you walk into a supermarket...

Anyway, due to another interest of mine, I have read a good deal of primary medical sources from the 19th century (for another virus, different topic). There is a lot of detail there, and people may not have had genomic tools, but there was definitely a lot of hypothesis testing.

@wanderer_jasnah @jbloom_lab You see this with yellow fever where they arrive at some incorrect conclusions (screw up the incubation period) but then they write off certain options as "proven" wrong and it takes a bit of stubbornness for people to remain on track (since now they are going against evidence).
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 19:00:54 +0000 2021
@wanderer_jasnah @jbloom_lab Part of the issue here is the circularity of assumption—so a historian needs to go find the original accounts, not the summaries. For example, if 1890 is not flu but assumed to be so, the clinical experience will get mentally coded as flu, and then details are circularly lost.+
@zeynep -- Mon Sep 27 18:29:27 +0000 2021
@jbloom_lab @Science54900201 My own "hobby" virus is yellow fever—long story but I read a lot of primary sources on it. It's pretty striking to follow the causal inference of the time—they didn't even have a proper theory but were very observant and a lot of hypothesis-testing (though not called that).

@raouljdegroot -- Mon Sep 27 21:08:34 +0000 2021
@wanderer_jasnah @jbloom_lab @zeynep Based on molecular clock analysis, the split between OC43 and BCoV was estimated to have occurred some 130 years ago but the MRCA of all extant OC43 strains ay have existed somewhere in the 1950's (Vijgen, 2006; Lau, 2011). The connection with the 1891 outbreak is tenuous.
@raouljdegroot -- Mon Sep 27 21:16:36 +0000 2021
@wanderer_jasnah @jbloom_lab @zeynep From our work on HE, I would argue OC43 indeed arose relatively recently. The data suggest an early split giving rise to two branches, each of which lost HE-mediated receptor-binding independently through accumulation of point mutations in the HE lectin domain (Bakkers CHM 2017).

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 11:22:19 +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 11:18:06 +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 11:15:11 +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.

After you recover from Covid, you have some protection from the virus, but it's unclear how strong, consistent, or lasting that protection is because it can differ greatly from one person to another. Vaccination gives you proven and durable protection against reinfection.

They also say that none of this would have happened if it were not for the fact that so many people remain unvaccinated against Covid. Even in NM, with a decent vaccination rate, the system is overrun. Please get vaccinated. Wear a mask. You never know how it will affect you.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 12:02:57 +0000 2021
I think of my dad before all this happened, still working, living in his own (rented) home, looking out at the mountains, calling his children in California and in France. The doctors and nurses say that a full recovery and getting off the trache is possible, but will be hard.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:46:39 +0000 2021
So that was two weeks ago. If he'd gotten to that ICU even hours later, we would have lost him. They had to perform heroic acts to stabilize him. In a week his pneumonia had been brought under control, and he was starting to heal. They talked about a full recovery. However.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:43:38 +0000 2021
After about five panicked hours of contacting every hospital, every person I could think of, and screaming my helplessness into the maw of the internet to see if anyone, anyone at all could help us, we finally reached a doctor in an ABQ hospital ICU who agreed to admit my dad.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:32:55 +0000 2021
A few days later, while I had thought my dad was improving—I kept being reassured by the nurses when I called—I finally called and got an exhausted, angry nurse who said bluntly: "we are tapped out and because of that your father is going to die. Maybe today. I'm sorry."
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 12:00:21 +0000 2021
To save my dad, they had to perform a tracheostomy for long-term weaning from the ventilator. That means making a hole in his windpipe. "Like Stephen Hawking," someone said. It might be temporary, it might not. They didn't know if it would save him, but so far at least, it has.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:54:46 +0000 2021
They gave me the option of "making him comfortable" instead, and you know what that means. But I'm my dad's PoA and he'd been clear that he wanted people to fight for him in a circumstance like this, so I said no. I told them to fight and do whatever they could to save him.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:50:27 +0000 2021
By that point my dad had been on a vent for more than ten days, simply because of a lack of access to care. If you're a med professional, you know why this matters. All signs looked good and so they decided to extubate him. At first he tolerated it, and then...he didn't.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:42:00 +0000 2021
The doctor said to "send him any leads" so when I called the hospitals, I said I was calling on his behalf. I never said I was his assistant or medical staff, but they talked to me. They were all maxed out. Nothing they could do.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:39:27 +0000 2021
My dad's doctor said that New Mexico's ICU bed planning was centralized, so there was no point calling NM hospitals, but I could try ICUs in CO, AZ, TX, UT, CA—even though, he said, they had already tried all those. He would try again. I could call. I think he was humoring me.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:37:44 +0000 2021
Now, there have been other stories like ours in the news over the past month or so. There was the father who was turned away from 43 ICUs and sadly passed away. People were being flown across state lines to try to save them, their families in terror, the health systems in chaos.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:34:18 +0000 2021
I demanded to speak to the doctor and he said more or less the same thing. The state was maxed out. My dad needed a cardiac ICU bed, or at least a cardiologist, and there was nothing for him. There was no hope, and no point even trying. Everywhere was full of the unvaccinated.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:29:41 +0000 2021
In normal circumstances, they simply would have transferred my dad to a larger hospital. There were several close by. It would have been routine. But due to Covid, it was impossible—so impossible, they thought, that they didn't even tell me he needed to be transferred.
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 12:07:54 +0000 2021
If you'd like to help my dad—who is still in the ICU—and help us give him the best chance for a full recovery, you can do so here. Thank you. https://t.co/VxSNsM13Rc
@summerbrennan -- Tue Sep 28 11:53:19 +0000 2021
Three days later, they had to intubate my dad for the third time. They said that doing this could result in a permanent disability. He could fully recover, but he also might not ever be independent again.

Podcasts & social media have let all sorts of heretofore marginalized voices get a larger platform. But it also allows #Clickbait clips like Dez's to rack up views under the guise of "starting a dialog" which is what ignorant people say to justify dumb conversations

Something that worries me a lot about Biden's climate plans: will they bring enough benefits to working class, BIPOC tenants? Mass electrification won't be cheap. If suburban homeowners get the most help, and tenants the least... the political ramifications would be terrible.
@JZPhilosophy -- Tue Sep 28 12:58:12 +0000 2021
Just so we’re clear, there was white backlash when slavery was ended. There was white backlash when integration was attempted. There was white backlash when a few more Black and brown folks got jobs white folks think are inherently theirs (basically all of them). Not a great take https://t.co/bMMSt8P7Mx
@DrJasonJohnson -- Tue Sep 28 02:30:10 +0000 2021
But let's give the I Am Athlete hosts the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they did know Dez was wrong, correct him later but released this clip because it will draw attention. Then they are STILL actively amplifying lies about Kaepernick to drum up attention for thier show.
@DrJasonJohnson -- Tue Sep 28 02:27:47 +0000 2021
This clip speaks to the larger problem of the almost non existent barriers of entry into "journalism" that exists today. If ANY of the hosts of this show had done 5 seconds of prep for this line of questioning they would have corrected Bryant's ignorance. Instead they head nod https://t.co/Uc3ZHk420T

@marijke_jordens @Auranaune We have been talking about this since February. Collecting data since April. Working on our first paper now. And we are not alone. "Science changes" is true but that does not mean you get to make your own facts because you don't like the current consensus.

@marijke_jordens @Auranaune *Lots of people with specific expertise in menstruation science did in fact believe vaccines could affect periods.* You are re-narrativizing the past. Just because some MDs who don't actually know biology were quoted in an NYT article doesn't mean this is what scientists thought.

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.

The vaccine mandate is a clarifying example of police unions being entirely indifferent to public safety, because there’s no risk at all to the officers and no real opportunity to frame it as somehow leading to more crime. They just think they ought to be exempt from the rules. https://t.co/CPtNhyRHFF

@meganranney I think it's the subtle hint for us to stop using it. It's not working.

@meganranney Buy the market basket branded one with the built in cutter. Or buy the original press and seal.

@meganranney Also those cardboard packaged pantry goods like corn starch where there’s perforation in the cardboard and it says to press in with your thumb to open and so you press and all that happens is the box gets a big dent in the corner. How has this not been improved?

So much of my research over the past year has been hunting down old interviews and letter and transcripts and oral histories, but now I've got to talk to people who are still alive, which is much tricker!
