No benefit of convalescent plasma in a randomized trial of 464 patients
medrxiv.org/content/10.110… @medrxivpreprint
Larger trials are pending, such as #RECOVERY from @UniofOxford. I'd be very surprised to see more than a modest impact on survival given the heterogeneous antibodies in convalescent plasma, most of which are not neutralizing—have no effect on the virus

Now, in full alt-facts mode, a member of the @WSJ editorial board writes about how the data-dredging convalescent plasma preprint was so important and a randomized trial "might have obscured" the results.

The benefit of universal facial masks in the pandemic extends to reducing the dose (inoculum) of virus, reducing the clinical impact, increasing asymptomatic infections, and may achieve "variolation "
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… @NEJM today @MonicaGandhi9
@Rutherford_UCSF 😷😷
The "variolation hypothesis" needs to be fully tested via immune response studies, but much evidence for it is presented in this thoughtful essay. We may already be seeing some of its effects
More perspective on this @NYTScience, aka "crude vaccine"
