Why are symptomatic post-vaccination covid infections, without hospitalization (H), important? —they can be severe, on the brink of H —they can result in #LongCovid —they can transmit to others —they were the primary endpoint of the vaccine clinical trials for efficacy

I will be getting a booster. Nephrologists work with many immunosuppressed patients, and it's my responsibility to minimise the chance I would infect one of them. That's why I test myself regularly, wear a mask and will get a third dose of vaccine next week. https://t.co/VqWFqCijX1

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 20:21:35 +0000 2021
@HHIDavidson @ClaireBerlinski @DSteelmanLaw @mileskimball @dandolfa Nobody is saying we shouldn't also apply other interventions. But reaching global population immunity is the only sustainable way to end the pandemic. See: every other vaccine-preventable virus.
@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.

@TheRealDarinZ @SeattleJay3 @stevekylerNBA "Every research" has not shown that. Endemicity will not be the result of mutation but of insufficient population immunity. 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

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.

Covid vaccines were developed fast, but they weren't rushed—mRNA technology has been researched for more than 20 years. We're fortunate that it works extraordinarily well for the virus that causes Covid, and it may also work for other viruses, such as influenza, in the future.
@DrTomFrieden -- Tue Sep 28 12:20:29 +0000 2021
The reason we're seeing alarming rates of hospitalizations and deaths in the US is because many people are still unvaccinated. Booster shots may help some people, but our biggest challenge is vaccinating those who haven't gotten their first shot. https://t.co/jXsrSjLWJH

Not sure we can blame all those people queuing up at forecourts. When you can no longer trust those in charge and you rely on your car for work, as a carer or key worker or you’re too vulnerable for public transport then why wouldn’t you? It’s not there where the blame lies.

Simple translation -> some people have a more protective version of a gene (called OAS1) that helps their body mount a stronger antiviral response, which helps protect against severe health outcomes. Other people have a version of OAS1 gene which doesn’t protect the body as well.

Many of us are finally realizing the women we were before medicine would hardly recognize who we have become. When we don’t protect ourselves, medicine consumes us; it doesn't want to share. We must fight to reclaim who we are, so we can transform medicine- not conform to it.

@mugecevik @andrew_croxford @ChiefStevieP @justsomeoneDK The solution cannot be for people to individually try to weed out the cranks. It's also hard to tell the crankery from disagreement/dispute within the bounds of science without the background. (Dose-sparing: disagreement. Claiming documented/big ADE risk for COVID vax: crankery).

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

@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.

So minor inconveniences to our lives to protect vulnerable groups and blunt transmission is not too much to ask. Painting complex issues in absolutist terms is intellectually lazy. In this case, it's also pretty ableist.
@Ryan_Mac_Phd -- Tue Sep 28 11:06:19 +0000 2021
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!

@smp0312 -- Tue Sep 28 01:08:25 +0000 2021
@meganranney They have. It operates on the principle of a paper cutter that comes with a slide for the blade and an adhesive strip to hold it to the box . Still not great but better. And no sharp edges.

@meganranney I have come to despise packaging engineers. Modern polymer gluing techniques make any seam that has been ‘heat sealed’ undeniably stronger than the material being sealed. And, once plastic wrap has clung to itself, it clings to nothing else. Much like Trump - in so many ways.

@TeeTweetsHere -- Tue Sep 28 00:42:48 +0000 2021
@meganranney Did you discover the press in pieces on the ends of the box? It holds the roll straight in the box so the cutter works correctly. I discovered them after 60 years of fighting the daggone cutters and wasting plastic.
@liebschutz -- Tue Sep 28 00:53:33 +0000 2021
@meganranney The only downside is that they aren't see through so you have to remember what you wrapped inside of them. Trader Joe's also has some beeswax wrap bags; Target too. But I like the brand posted above.

As of Friday, Southern Health had 5X the #COVID19 infection rate of Winnipeg - and more than double the provincial average.
@bkives -- Mon Sep 27 17:38:20 +0000 2021
Case breakdown for the weekend: Saturday: 100 Sunday: 113 Monday: 93 There actually were 306 new cases. Numbers exceeded 294 due to data corrections.

@thereminimum @Allikat685 @vvalkyri @AkaMotherto3 @atlantic It should be somewhat context dependent. For example, if you know you haven't been exposed for at least 6 days, then a single test should provide sufficient confidence that you were not infected during that exposure. However if walking around and exposed daily... 12 hours.
@michaelmina_lab -- Mon Sep 27 20:43:17 +0000 2021
@KateGrabowski @atlantic Absolutely! it's a battle I chose not to fight since I'm always trying to vouch for public health. But of course you're right! Rapid detection when still w high viral load is best way to seek clinical help and start mAb therapy, for instance. 3 day delays greatly reduce benefit.
@michaelmina_lab -- Mon Sep 27 20:38:40 +0000 2021
@Allikat685 @vvalkyri @AkaMotherto3 @atlantic Sorry - I mean it is active surveillance localized inside the event. The neg test withinin 72 hours is a problem. Should be the morning of the event start, and ideally daily during the event if multiple days.

@michaelmina_lab -- Mon Sep 27 20:02:26 +0000 2021
@ErinBromage @atlantic Absolutely. For entrance screening, 100%. However once weekly can have an impact to bring R down towards 1 if you have enough people testing weekly. But just barely. Much better to test 2x per week.
@michaelmina_lab -- Mon Sep 27 20:00:30 +0000 2021
@swapneilparikh @atlantic Yes, this is true. It's never all or nothing. There is some benefit to self. But surely the major benefit of rapid testing is for those around you (family, friends, strangers on a bus, work mates, etc...)
@michaelmina_lab -- Mon Sep 27 19:57:47 +0000 2021
@Allikat685 @vvalkyri @AkaMotherto3 @atlantic I would argue it is a component of localized public health surveillance. It's not routine testing, true. But if it's a one day event, then we only need the "routine" to be once. The test used as close to the event of interest is the most informative.

@KateGrabowski @michaelmina_lab @atlantic There would also be a direct psychological benefit, knowing that you have reduced the risk of unknowingly spreading a deadly disease that could have seriously harmed or killed other people (including friends & family), and sparing yourself guilt.

Interesting proposition for how to scale up at home testing from @michaelmina_lab. Certify tests that have been approved for sale in peer countries as of sufficient quality (safety/efficacy) to be sold in the US. https://t.co/gw7jfpxJO3

Friend returns from Africa COVID+. 2nd friend exposed tries to get tested.  Visits 3 CVS stores-none Tries CVS Online- none.  Goes to a testing center- pays $125 for a rapid Ag test! Highway robbery.  @JoeBiden @CDCgov @US_FDA Americans need free Ag tests NOW. @michaelmina_lab

@ErinBromage @AlbellaKutta @michaelmina_lab @atlantic It must depend on whether the idea is to maximize likelihood of detection, or minimize onward transmissions... if the latter objective, then maybe it shifts earlier? Also the Delta virus ramps quicker than the original, shifting earlier?

@michaelmina_lab Not sharing is caring.

@michaelmina_lab @atlantic The Atlantic publishes another poorly written Covid article. Wish they chose writers who focused on making solutions (ie testing) more accessible and proposing effective policy ideas rather than harping about Biden’s attempts to actually save lives. What gives?

@michaelmina_lab @atlantic You incur knowledge…knowledge that allows you to protect those around you through your behavior. Why is this so hard?

PCR covid tests- 4 at 4 locations & none same in sample collecting. Why no standards? 1. Both nostrils, not inserted to pt of discomfort 2. Lower nasal only, short swab 3. Self admin both nostrils 4. Mouth 1st, 1 nostril, shoved way in tears came to 👀 @ASlavitt @michaelmina_lab

@michaelmina_lab @WesElyMD Does this hold true even for those who are asymptomatic but infectious?

Youngest in quarantine after a school exposure; no symptoms and a negative test, so all in all could be worse. Luckily he’s old enough where he can stay home in his own. Feel for those who need to juggle work too… https://t.co/S8g18n59E1

@onisillos looking at the UK, I suggest you should include availability and food security
