Not having Astra Zeneca vaccine approved by now in the US is a blunder. #COVID
If I was running the FDA I will not be waiting for Astra Zeneca to submit the data but begging them to.
We have lost sense of how to make risk benefit judgment calls. I hope this changes with the new Administration.
The UK just overtook us 2-3 days ago in vaccine doses delivered. Now they are almost double our rate.
What we have to consider is this.

The leader of a big highly successful company told me they don’t use metrics or targets to judge or push employee productivity. They motivate employees to excel. When employee morale is high, productivity follows.
The role model I learnt this from is @AnilRaiGupta and the company is @havellsindia

This message stuck in my head from the day I heard it. Thanks Anil!

India starts COVID vaccination. Watch how quickly they ramp up and overtake the US. @emilyschmall @Karan_Singhs nytimes.com/live/2021/01/1…
We have a public health infrastructure problem compounding missteps that will take a long time to reverse even after new competent leadership takes over. They are inheriting big problems. I hope I am wrong & that we do get a third of the population vaccinated in the next 3 months
India on the other hand despite huge disparity in wealth compared to the US, has good public health infrastructure. They also the foresight early on and manufactured lots of vaccine even before the trials were completed. @SerumInstIndia

CDC says asymptomatic transmission may be responsible for more than half the COVID cases. Kinda little late to come to this conclusion. Don’t you think?

We came to this conclusion almost from the outset of the pandemic.

There is simply no way for COVID to become the pandemic it did unless there was a lot of asymptomatic spread. Yet we had leaders from WHO on wanting “proof” before they would commit to anything. That’s like saying that cars without headlights are dangerous but we need proof first
In our anxiety to seem scientific, we forgot logic and common sense. I say it because I saw it happen over and over again.

2020 was rough from an academic standpoint. We couldn’t get clinical or lab research done as planned. I did get some work done. Here are some I feel good about.

1. RCT in Newly diagnosed myeloma of VRd vs KRd. ENDURANCE @myelomaMD @eaonc @TheLancetOncol thelancet.com/journals/lanon…
2. RCT of Len vs Observation in Smoldering myeloma. @SagarLonialMD @eaonc @ASCO_pubs ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.12…
