HIGHEST IN KIDS—newest French data this week shows #B117 is the most dominant & has the highest prevalence in kids ages 0-9. This matches data from 🇬🇧 (where B117 nearly completely dominant) showing highest #COVID19 incidence in kids. This also matches kids surge in 🇮🇹 & 🇮🇱. 🧵 Image
2) Here is the newest UK data from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 showing the highest positivity of #COVID19 in kids for the first time (this wasn’t true in the past). This again matches warnings we see elsewhere in the world. Leaders of each country have to acknowledge this.
3) and my god, #B117 has now pretty much dominated half of France 🇫🇷. Image
4) We know #B117 is more contagious by 40-60%. Do we see it throughout France? YES!! Areas with higher B117 #SARSCoV2 proportion, higher the incidence of #COVID19. Image
5) there is definitely something going on with the #B117 variant (where it is fully dominant in 🇬🇧) and kids. This new weird pediatric trend has been now seen in Italy 🇮🇹 Israel 🇮🇱 Denmark 🇩🇰 and now France 🇫🇷 too. Italy’s leadership sounded the alarms recently about B117 & kids.
6) New studies indeed confirm that “kids are the drivers of transmission”. Asymptomatic kids carry just as much viral load as adults...
7) Kids are more often silent asymptomatic spreaders and much less likely detected too. Thus what we are finding for highest in kids is just tip of the iceberg.
8) Let’s flip it around... if a family has a lot of kids, are the adults more likely infected??? YES... and more kids in household, the higher the risk.
9) And don’t forget that #B117 is not only more contagious, new data from Denmark 🇩🇰 CDC shows it is also more severe. Danes have the best B117 data because they sequence everyone. Read this thread 🧵 and the table below.
10) I’m not anti kids in schools—rather I’m pro safe schools. And what is needed is not only masks but also adequate ventilation and air disinfection— the CDC just put out these critical school air quality safety protocols. Please read this thread 🧵

BAM—called it again—there is clear proof of cat-human household transmission of bird flu. CDC scientists posted the data—but suddenly deleted soon afterwards. CDC is being blatantly muzzled. Image
Image
2) C.D.C. Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Spread Between Cats and People

The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

3) I’ve been reading the tea leaves 🍃 lately— it’s quite clear they know there is household transmission of bird flu. Hence the final alert issued by CDC before Trump took over was to get national testing of Flu A to see if bird flu in hospitals nationwide. See important 🧵

⚠️CDC & NY State is now recommending the IMMEDIATE testing & subtyping of all hospitalized flu A cases & unknown/suspected flu cases—in order to identify human bird flu. ➡️This implies CDC believes avian flu has now crossed into wide community transmission
nyc.gov/assets/doh/dow…Image

2) Testing is good. But the widespread testing shows urgency.

“CDC is now recommending ordering subtyping for all influenza A-positive specimens collected from hospitalized individuals within 24 hours of hospital admission” Image
3) And the memo says start testing with ANY SUSPECTED hospitalized cases of seasonal influenza as well. That’s quite broad.

The memo also doesn’t say NY residency required - thus are they implying anyone outside NYC (out-of-state too?) can also send specimens in to their lab. Image

Trump WH has ordered CDC scientists to retract all papers under submission to medical journals containing banned terms— must be scrubbed from manuscripts, including even basic words like “gender”. Retraction even applies to accepted papers in press for imminent publication. Image
Image
2) The CDC has instructed its scientists to retract or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by any medical or scientific journal, not merely its own internal periodicals

@jeremyfaust 3) it’s wild that even the terms “gender” and “pregnant person / people” must be scrubbed as well. Kinda wild honestly. Image

🛑CANCELLED—“Research on Women’s Health” funding website of the NIH. Image
2) here is the page that is now deleted. Funding opportunities in women’s health research of ORWH site. Didn’t Trump say they at least recognize women as a gender? Weird.

3) It’s a bloodbath today for CDC websites too…

🪓DELETION UPDATE—More than 1,000 pages are now deleted from websites of CDC, National Institutes of Health, and other sites of the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a new WSJ analysis—including many **vaccine recommendation** scientific pages! Image
2) CDC’s vaccine advisory committee webpage… now ❌ DELETED ❌ Image
3) To be clear, while the main ACIP website is still up (generic committee info), the “VACCINE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS” website of ACIP has been **deleted**. That key page is the one with the actual public health info for vaccines. Feel free to verify:

⚠️CDC WEBSITES DELETED—Multiple CDC websites and datasets related to HIV, LGBTQ people, youth health behaviors and more have been removed after the agency was directed to comply with an executive order from President Trump by 5pm deadline. Wildest is taking down even HIV pages! Image
Image
2) Like, why then hell did the “CAUSES” of HIV even get deleted??? Makes zero sense. Why is Trump WH wanting to block how to stop HIV???
cdc.gov/hiv/causes/ind…Image
3) also deleted: CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, which includes data from a national survey, has disappeared. so have parts of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s Social Vulnerability Index and the Environmental Justice Index.
