ALWAYS refer to the original data source. Beware of misleading headlines. 🧵
A study by FDA’s Hui-Lee Wong et al is being referenced all over Twitter as:
“FDA now says Pfizer vaccine causes blood clots”.
This conclusion is inaccurate.

The authors used Medicare/Medicaid data to analyze 14 different adverse outcomes after 34 million vaccine doses in recipients age >65. The controls used for comparison were HISTORIC controls, pre-COVID & peri-COVID.
The authors used Medicare/Medicaid data to analyze 14 different adverse outcomes after 34 million vaccine doses in recipients age >65. The controls used for comparison were HISTORIC controls, pre-COVID & peri-COVID.
When compared to the PRE-COVID population (2017-2019), #pulmonaryembolism met modest statistical significance (RR=1.48), the difference was lost when the peri-COVID (2020) comparator population was used instead. The difference remained when inpatient setting was used.
It took my legs a few minutes to warm up this morning, but glad to report that long morning walks remain easy, in contrast to later in the day. #Totnes is waking up beautifully ☀️
5 miles walked this morning, with no adverse effects. Then strimmed & mowed a lawn. Great to not be worried about my heart and lungs as I got a real workout from the gardening. However, I'm mindful of the warnings of some with #LongCovid that I should continue to pace myself.

Spent more time in the garden today. Insect populations are booming! A bit of sunshine really helps to lift the spirits.

Had a run of 3 good days, but just tried doing *some* of the things my lungs had allowed me to do over the weekend & over-did it by fixing the ball-cock in the toilet cistern! Lowered my guard; lungs are tight again (first time in 10 days) & I'm lightheaded. #PulmonaryEmbolism

Starting a series on clinical Pearls I am gathering in #COVID19 patients based on experiences of many experts
Will add as we go along

Anosmia is likely the most specific #COVID19 related symptom
30% of patients have anosmia as their 1st symptom

Around 90% of patients have fever.
50% maybe afebrile at the time of presentation
Fever tends to be very resistant to routine measures in hospitalized patients
There is no consensus that NSAIDs are to be avoided in #COVID2019 patients

...on a very low income due to #UniversalCredit, you get used to feeling rubbish a lot of the time. Vague symptoms like fatigue are inevitably dismissed by GPs.
