VE holding up to 8+ months looking at Ontario data...do we need more boosters right now in 🇨🇦 or more vaccine in #LMICs Jeff Kwong ICES #COVID19 #vaccines

Dr. Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) drops straight facts & important truth about the urgent need to vaccinate the world. While we're debating the costs or whose obligation it is, #COVID is sitting back like yep chat amongst yourselves. 🦠👀🍿 #PublicHealthGuerrillas🦍 youtu.be/yW_xvAn3GXg

We don’t need universal booster shots. We need to reach the unvaccinated. The case for boosters for healthy younger adults is not strong — and those shots would do more good elsewhere washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/1… via Washington Post Opinions Paul Offit #COVID19 #vaccination

5 days abx better than 10 days for non-severe pneumonia in children. Lower adverse events. Lower abx resistance jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Our post omicron world: 1. Omicron goes down 2. It fails to produce herd immunity, durable protection 3. We’ll have 6 mo to vaccinate the world & prevent a new variant from emerging this summer 4. It may not resemble omicron 5. Vaccinating world in next 6 months = our best path

Boosters are the most effective way to restore your immunity and help prevent serious illness. Keep your vaccinations up-to-date.

A new UK-wide analysis identifies risk factors for severe #COVID19 outcomes in individuals with a vaccine booster dose: hubs.li/Q01pMphx0

Findings suggest older people, those with multimorbidity, and those with specific underlying health conditions should be prioritised for additional boosters—including novel optimised versions—and #COVID19 therapeutics.

Dear COVID Revisionists, Vaccines & public health measures got us here. Research shows regions < public health measures < vaccine uptake = more deaths & hospitalizations. To be clear: death of humans. Those people you pass on the street, neighbours, colleagues, family...

I continue to hear the COVID revisionist noise. "I told you so!" Really? What, exactly, were you right about? The vaccines & public health measures saved millions of lives. Without your BS, more would have been saved. 👆 cc Dr. Tara C. Smith Jennifer Gunter Ubaka Ogbogu Dr. Deepti Gurdasani

Our study shows that our genetic makeup, in addition to factors such as age and health status, impacts on how well we respond to COVID-19 vaccines and our subsequent risk of COVID-19. The Lambe Lab Oxford Vaccine Group Andrew Pollard Knight Genetics nature.com/articles/s4159…

Listen to World Health Organization (WHO)'s Mike Ryan drop COVAX truths. "We failed because of the greed of the North. We failed because of the greed of pharmaceutical industry. We failed because of self-interest in certain Member States who were not prepared to share. And COVAX went against that trend."
