Kids <2 yrs old can’t mask.
Kids <6 months can’t vax.
Many parents are using strollers w/rain covers to try to get some protection during essential activities.
Does adding a #PAPR or #HEPA device help?
I tried 6 models: engrxiv.org/preprint/view/…

First off, thanks @RealSexyCyborg for the original design. Thanks to @ccwake1, @gjmf, @drgregkelly for ideas too. Happy to acknowledge!
My goal was to test 6 models & help relate them to non-engineers.

The PAPR & HEPA buggies I tested had an estimated 57-951 air changes per hour (ACH) in these TINY spaces. The worst design had about 3x the air cleaning of an OR.
You can make a #PAPRbuggy that’s super discrete for about $110 more than an existing stroller & rain cover.

I don’t want #LongCovid for myself or my child,
which can happen no matter how mildly initially infected,
for which there is no treatment or cure

2 years and 3 months ago, the world shut down. We first heard the words “social distancing”. The next week, my grandfather was found unresponsive alone in his home a couple of weeks after a trip to Florida. He spent two weeks on a ventilator, but never woke up. There was…
no such thing as a COVID test. Looking back, he clearly had COVID. Back then, we had no idea how fast it was spreading or how deadly it was. The hospital allowed no visitors until it was his time. His 3 adult children were permitted to see him. The rest of us said goodbye…
Via FaceTime, something that seemed so strange at the time. My grandpa deserved so much more. The funeral home capped at 10 attendees. I couldn’t risk attending my own grandpa’s funeral for fear I would endanger my immediate family, including my…
I’ve been asked several times if I plan to get my 3yr old and 16mo old vaccinated against COVID.
Guess what? *Every* pediatrician I know with kids under 5 is eager to vaccinate their kids against COVID.
Why is that?

We've talked with thousands of families about COVID.
We've done our research (like, literally).
We’ve seen the immediate effects of coronavirus infection, including kids who have been hospitalized or worse.
We’ve seen the long-term effects of coronavirus infection -

We’ve seen the long-term effects of coronavirus infection -
long COVID with debilitating fatigue, significantly increased risk of autoimmune illnesses like Type 1 diabetes, and more.
So, no, it's not always "mild" for kids.

A birthday thread:
So this is me at 50.
I feel like 35, but with 15 years of experience.
I have seen a lot these past few years, good and bad.
Maybe this old man can share a little bit of what I have learned:

Be humble and gracious. None of us have done anything on our own. We are who we are because of the people around us. Acknowledge them. Thank them. Saying thanks goes a long way
Be respectful. This world is full of people with opinions different from yours. Their experiences are different from yours. Listen to their story. You will probably find that your thoughts aren't all that different. Make friends, not enemies.
Moderna initiating eua for under 6 will potentially be part of a larger eua app related to their under 18 cohort which has not yet had action (likely due to concerns about safety signals in 12-17) - so what does this mean potentially ?

Means that moderna has more data than their interim analysis announced March 23 but still not sure if they have 2 month follow up on half the patients yet /2

So the initiation means that the process of submitting full data could take 1-2 weeks and then fda needs to read through hundreds if not thousands of pages to prepare its assessment for vrbpac /3
I don’t know if there will be an opportunity for us to make our voices heard about the urgency of vaccines for kids at this event, but I’m going to show up to find out! #ImmunizeUnder5s
So far they have the chat disabled-- no surprise. I suggest we *respectfully* reach out to panelists and ask them to urge @HHSGov not to delay vaccines for young kids for bureaucratic convenience.
This is a🧵 on the regulatory dysfunction that has abandoned children under age 5 without access to safe covid vaccines. I’ll do a second one on what we might do about it. #immunizeunder5s #offlabelU5 1/n
This thread is longer than a CVS receipt, so I also made a Medium post for easier reading. medium.com/@Lexisaurus/wh… #immunizeunder5s 2/n
Why are CDC and FDA so invested in this idea that dragging out kids’ vaccine authorizations and banning off label access is necessary to preserve confidence in all childhood vaccines? They assert it frequently but seem to have no evidentiary basis. 3/n
This weekend we drove almost 600 km to go to #Baiersbronn to get our 3.5 year old vaccinated with #Pfizer #Offlabel.
We left Friday afternoon to stay at the vaccination center and hotel after a 5 hour drive from Switzerland 🇨🇭

With talks throughout Europe of dropping mask mandates and no clear action towards mitigation measures like ventilation or CO2 measurements (#COVIDisAirborne), it has become clear that no one is willing to wait for the U5s to get vaccinated to get back to pre-pandemic life
We made up our minds after reading about families that had done the same on the FB from @ImmunizeUnder5s and contacted @U12Schutz to help us with the organisation. We were offered the #Baiersbronn centres so we signed up with @regiopraxis. Everything sorted in just a few days ✅

We're in Germany right now. Landed Wed night, drove 2.5 hrs to our accommodation near the clinic. As the Doctor is working insane hours to help desperate families, they were still working and did a 1am house call. Like a German Mary Poppins minus the umbrella, plus mRNA 😆 2/7
When I heard FDA decision to withhold safe vaccines (+ of course the continued blocking of #OffLabelU5 by @CDCDirector) I was even happier to be here. I trust science. And honestly, with many Govts removing mask/social distancing requirements, who else was going to help us?? 3/7
