Many thanks ⁦@Lawrence⁩ for hosting me tonight on ⁦@TheLastWord⁩ we spoke about the steep rise of #COVID19 in AZ OK TX, the risk of ICUs filling in metro areas in these states, and what that means for mortality rates. Thanks for “the last word”! Image
We learned tonight that the President may plan his next rally for #Phoenix. If confirmed I think that would be reckless, given the terrible acceleration of #covid19 cases and ICU admissions there
The President holding a rally in #Phoenix when #COVID19 hospitalizations rising exponentially there? Is he trying to throw the election? This is like the political equivalent of @MelBrooks The Producers. What’s next? Does he try to slip @maggieNYT $50 to write the review?

1/n Pediatricians 'exhausted' as vaccinations drop in DeSantis' Florida.

As I sometimes say, this situation was both predicted and predictable. My papers attached. I’m so concerned about our fragile vaccine ecosystem both in U.S. and globally tallahassee.com/story/news/loc…
2/n my 2022 article in @Nature @NatRevImmunol nature.com/articles/s4157…

1/n Texas has an economy/population roughly the size of Canada. However there were 50,000 Covid deaths in Canada vs 100,000 in Texas. The reason: widespread COVID vaccine refusal in TX, 40,000-50,000 victims of a national/political health disinformation campaign. Paper attached
2/n I call this “The Great Texas COVID Tragedy” here’s my article in @PLOS @PLOSGPH written 2 years ago journals.plos.org/globalpubliche…

My goodness what’s happening at @Stanford? This is awful, a full on anti-science agenda (and revisionist history), tone deaf to how this kind of rhetoric contributed to the deaths of thousands of Americans during the pandemic by convincing them to shun vaccines or minimize Covid
The program indicates the new Stanford President will headline the symposium. While I’m all for free speech, this type of anti-science aggression doesn’t have to be promoted by the Stanford leadership, given the chilling message it sends to the serious science faculty/students
Therefore I hope the Stanford President reconsiders and instead focuses his attention on the important scientific projects underway on his campus, and not this nonsense

1/n But…this simply not true, my book Vaccines Did Not Cause Autism @JHUPress has 20+ pages of scientific references like the one I attached to this tweet. In fact all of my books are carefully referenced, and at Johns Hopkins University Press, also peer-reviewed.
2/n here’s a picture of one of the 20+ pages of scientific references in the book. Image
3/n also I don’t take any funds from big pharma and the talking points are mine and consistent. We make low-cost, often patent-free vaccines for low- and middle-income countries, 100 million doses administered so far, which bypass big pharma.

Sadly we’ve learned how the 1.2 million Covid deaths in U.S. overwhelmingly among the unvaccinated = just a start. It’s also heart attacks/strokes from the virus/long Covid/dementia preventable by vaccines. Our low-cost vaccine from @TexasChildrens 100 million doses administered
Some papers attached on how COVID vaccines saved 3 million American lives commonwealthfund.org/blog/2022/two-…

I see Gov Cuomo getting beat up for his Covid response, I don’t have the inside baseball but watching this in 2020 I felt the big failing: CDC/Trump WH so fixated on travel restrictions from China they missed entry of SARS-2 from S Europe into NY going undetected for 4-6 wks
Pandemics by design make elected officials look bad. I’m sure Gov Cuomo made mistakes as did every Gov in America. But for me, the head scratcher: how our public health infrastructure allowed COVID to come into America from Italy/Spain from genomic sequencing and go unannounced
The heroes in this story from my perspective: the ER, ICU attendings, fellows, residents, nurses, respiratory therapists in NY Hospitals who figured out pretty fast use of steroids/anticoagulants. And the NY Hospital Administrators and Boards who said spare no expense: save lives
