Dangerous anti-vaccine & far-right groups shut down Dodger Stadium’s mass #COVID19 vaccination site, stalling hundreds who had been waiting in line for hours. LAPD closed the entrance of one of the largest vaccination sites in the country for ~1hour.

2) some of the anti vac and right wing protesters were telling people in line that the coronavirus is not real and that the vaccination is dangerous.

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
3) post on social media described the demonstration as the “Scamdemic Protest/March.” It advised participants to “please refrain from wearing Trump/MAGA attire as we want our statement to resonate with the sheeple. No flags but informational signs only.
4) “This is a sharing information protest and march against everything COVID, Vaccine, PCR Tests, Lockdowns, Masks, Fauci, Gates, Newsom, China, digital tracking, etc.” they wrote

BREAKING—CDC released 1st month vaccine report. Just under 13 million vaccinated over 30 days, or just ~431k per day. Relative to US pop, blacks & Latinos are underrepresented, though partly to HCW & elderly.

➡️ We need to do better in month 2. #COVID19 cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7… Image
2) this disparity is more stark considering who is actually dying of #COVID19
3) look at the vaccine disparity by zip code. We know the zip code disparities are related to income and race.

NOT GOOD—so it seems 🇬🇧 government researchers have discovered that the already more contagious #B117 has further acquired the other troublesome E484K mutation seen in 🇿🇦#B1351 & 🇧🇷#P1 variants—in 11 patients. E484k is blamed for partial vaccine-evasion.🧵
assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl… Image
2) Moreover, they believe the 11 samples of #b117 variant that acquired the new E484K acquired them independently of each other (not just one single origin). This suggests convergent evolution taking place—where it evolves to acquire E484K separately—which indicates it is key. Image
3) One expert thinks it’s because the E484K might enhance another mutation seen in #B117, thereby letting the virus “grip” the human ACE2 receptor (targeted entry portal into human cells) stronger in a more stable way.

📍GRAVE RACIAL INJUSTICE—

Black- & Hispanic-Americans #COVID19 death versus non-Hispanic Whites by age:

📌HISPANICS:

Age 55-64: ~7x more than NHW
Age 45-54: ~10x
Age 35-44: ~11x
Age <35: ~7x

📌BLACK AMERICANS:

Age 55-64: ~5x
Age 45-54: ~6x
Age 35-44: ~8x
Age <35: ~7x

🧵 Image
2) Yes, the data indeed shows that for YOUNG ADULT BLACK- & HISPANIC-AMERICANS—the relative risk of COVID death for:

Black vs Whites—

Hispanics vs Whites—

Shows the disparity is actually ***greater in young adults***

3) Yet at the same time, in NYC, whites have ~ 4.6x the number of vaccinations than blacks in NYC, and 7x among non residents of NYC. Image

CONSPIRACY RUN AMOK—A nurse who got vaccine on live TV and fainted briefly (and then went back on TV saying she’s okay) has anti-vaxxers and pandemic deniers running amok insisting she is dead. There is no end in sight to the online harassment. #COVID19

2) Here was how all the above sorta started. Someone deceptively edited a video... Image
3) it started in mid Dec but it’s still going. “According to all official sources, she is alive and well and working as a nurse in Chattanooga. Last week, she was pictured on the front of local newspaper caring for a police chief who had been in hospital for nearly 100 days.”

💡EARLY CONVALESCENT PLASMA WORKS—2 large studies shows early use of high antibody concentration CP therapy prevents severe #COVID19.

📌Study 1: Trial of high titer CP vs placebo—cuts severe COVID risk by 1/2!

📌Study 2: High titer CP cuts death risk by 1/3 vs low titer CP🧵 ImageImage
2) Early High-Titer Plasma Therapy to Prevent Severe Covid-19 in Older Adults.

➡️Conclusion: Early administration of high-titer convalescent plasma against SARS-CoV-2 to mildly ill infected older adults reduced the progression of #COVID19 by 48%.

nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
3) Among patients hospitalized with Covid who were not receiving mechanical ventilation, transfusion of plasma with higher anti–#SARSCoV2 IgG antibody levels was associated with a lower risk of death than transfusion of plasma with lower antibody levels.

⚠️YOUNG ADULT BLACK- & HISPANIC-AMERICANS & COVID. Overall, elderly die more of #COVID19, but—

➡️But what if I told you—the relative risk of COVID death for:

Black vs Whites—

Hispanics vs Whites—

is actually *greater in young adults*?

➡️It’s true. 🧵
healthdata.org/acting-data/pr… Image
2) Look Black/Hispanic-Americans #COVID19 death vs non Hispanic White Americans by age:

📍HISPANICS:
Age 55-64: ~7x more than NHW

Age 45-54: ~10x

Age 35-44: ~11x

Age <35: ~7x

📍BLACK AMERICANS

Age 55-64: ~5x more than NHW

Age 45-54: ~6x

Age 35-44: ~8x

Age <35: ~7x Image
3) And which states are doing the worst in terms of Black-American / Hispanic-American versus non-Hispanic White disparity for #COVID19 mortality?

A lot of blue and red states. Some much much worse. Image
