#Moderna is quadrupling the cost of #covid #vaccines, from $26/dose to $110-130. CEO Stephane Bancel calls the price hike "consistent with the value" of the #MRNA vaccines. Moderna's costs are $2.85/dose, for a 4,460% markup on every dose:

Now, obviously the manufacturing costs are only part of the cost of making a vaccine: there's also all the high-risk capital that goes into doing the basic research. 3/
#RishiSunak was at the heart of the #HerdImmunityScandal
Every epidemiologist, virologist & scientist made clear that - without a vaccine - #HerdImmunity was an “outcome” never a “strategy”

On 21/9/20, Sunak & Johnson skipped a crucial SAGE meeting to meet two lockdown sceptics
At the Sept meeting that Sunak skipped, SAGE had advised a circuit-breaker lockdown
Scientists had also warned against #Sunak's Eat Out to Help Out scheme which is closely linked to rise in #COViD19 cases & likely helped trigger a rise in deaths among ethnic minority populations

After #Sunak & Johnson were briefed by the anti-lockdown sceptics, they ignored SAGE’s advice to:
1. introduce a circuit-breaker lockdown
2. close pubs, restaurants & gyms
3. stop households mixing in each other’s homes
4. stop face-to-face teaching at universities & colleges

I clipped it & it went viral
Ironically, this was also the same day as first Briton died of #COVID

#COVID19 testing remains inadequate throughout the world. These data show test positivity rates for 7/10 countries with the most daily new cases, per @Worldometers. All 7 have been >10% for the past month, with Germany >30% since Jan. 23 & South Kores >50% since Mar. 18. 1/
From the start, @WHO has stressed the need for robust testing, combined with contact tracing, isolation & quarantine, to identify and cut off all chains of transmission. This article from May 2020 summarized the importance of low test positivity rates. 2/ globalhealth.harvard.edu/evidence-round…

No economic sense in ending #SelfIsolation. 1 in 4 bosses say #LongCovid the main cause of sickness absence. Of UK population almost 2% are #pwLC (40% for 1-2 years). You can't fill 500,000 posts when tens of thousands a month are losing jobs to illness @longcovidwork @long_covid
At least two in three #pwLC are frontline workers (ONS, TUC, @long_covid data). @longcovidwork we hear of more and more losing jobs. There are 100,000+ vacancies in the NHS alone, doctors and nurses. Can the #NHS afford to lose more to infection and disability? @sajidjavid
Can UK schools afford to have more teachers becoming ill with #Covid each week and keep getting reinfected? Does @nadhimzahawi expect them to work while ill if #SelfIsolation ends? And how does losing more teachers to #LongCovid help the UK economy?
Glad that you (and many other scientists) are now reading the WSWS. But you wouldn't be surprised by its content - "among the most truthful and reliable" - if you had been familiar with the writings of Trotsky, who ranks among the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. 1/
Murdered by a Stalinist agent in 1940, Trotsky personified - as did Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg - the great socialist culture of the early 20th century that educated the working class, thus enabling it to act as a historically aware and politically conscious revolutionary force. 2/
The disastrous response to the pandemic and its tragic consequences cannot be explained apart from the absence of a mass socialist movement based on the working class, which would declare war on #Covid19 and the criminal corporate/finance-dictated policy of #herdimmunity. 3/

The #NYTimes spells out the #herdimmunity strategy of the Biden administration: "By infecting large numbers of people quickly, it’s also generating immunity quickly. And that counts toward making #COVID19 a more manageable illness..." 1/
The author admits this may be "cold comfort" to those who get sick and die now. "As older age groups are infected things may deteriorate further, but the situation is still vastly better than if people hadn’t already accumulated some immunity against Covid." 2/
He adds: "The immunity Omicron will leave behind might well be a major step toward making Covid a manageable illness by providing more protection against future surges and variants. ... But the immunity generated by Omicron is not going to lead to the extinction of the virus." 3/

I would personally jump at the chance to give 5-12yr olds their first #CovidVaccination , I know many other HCPs who feel the same.
Parents like @Mangalang1 are desperate, some are seeking vaccination abroad.

Of all the vicious anti-Chinese propaganda pieces Ms. Li Yuan has churned out for the @NYTimes, this ranks among the filthiest. As always, her aim is to portray China's ZeroCovid policy -- which has kept deaths below 5,000 people -- as a monstrous violation of human rights. 1/
The article is titled: "The Army of Millions Who Enforce China's #ZeroCovid Policy, at All Costs." Her technique is to sensationalize individual incidents -- actually reported in the Chinese press -- as examples of pervasive brutality. 2/
Li Yuan cites the following incidents: 1) a man in Xi'an who failed to gain admittance to a hospital died of a heart attack; 2) a pregnant woman, with an invalid Covid test, lost her baby; 3) two security guards beat up a man who was caught violating lockdown rules. 3/
I have been tweeting about endemicity for a while now but I'll explain it here for anyone who wants to better understand how this pandemic will end from an immunologist's POW:
This pandemic won't end by us eradicating #SARS_CoV_2 there are three main reasons for this:
This pandemic won't end by us eradicating #SARS_CoV_2 there are three main reasons for this:

2) Although our vaccines are very effective against severe #COVID19 they don't confer sterilizing immunity meaning...
...you can be immunized and still get infected and transmit the virus.

Lieber @karl_lauterbach. Sie haben gerade meine Weihnachten ruiniert. Nur knapp ueber 24h Warnung. Der Flug war morgen, und es gibt in Oxford keine Tests mehr. Dh ich kann nicht fliegen. Und in der Panik (check-in fast schon offen) habe ich den Flug gecancelled statt umzubuchen.
And I'm triple vaccinated! Visiting a first-degree relative. My 80 year-old mother.
Eigentlich Pauschalregeln sind absurd: vor ein paar Tagen ist jemand aus Hannover ohne Probleme vom London zurück. War in U-Bahnen voller Leute ohne Masken. Ich bin in Oxford, radle nur, sitze in Cafés nur draußen, meide Supermarkt etc. Risiko ganz ungleich. Nur als Beispiel.

1/. #BREAKING #COVID NEWSFLASH: The “official scientific advisers" behind the #HerdImmunityScandal were in reality were political advisors, appointed by politicians, who's advice had little or no basis in science (e.g. “Dr” David Halpern who has a doctorate in Political Science)
2/. Today’s findings are not new
The truth has been in plain sight from the start
We didn’t need #Cummings to tell us
Indeed, @Dominic2306 ‘revelations’ raised far more questions than answers
It was clear that #HerdImmunity was the strategy & they didn’t “pivot away” from it

Without a vaccine it would involve sacrificing the vulnerable in vast numbers
This “strategy” would also clearly damage the economy

@ProfPCDoherty 2/- #HerdImmunity can’t be achieved with a narrow epitope systemic v@x that doesn’t stop infection or transmission especially with viral mutations. May need turbo boosters ad-Infinitum. Natural immunity adjunct with anti-viral drugs, broader epitope memory based mucosal immunity
