Toxic attitudes—prisons are high risk for #COVID19, yet when Florida correctional officer polled his colleagues in a private Facebook group: “Will you take the COVID-19 vaccine if offered?”
Over half: “Hell no.” Only 40 of 475 respondents said yes.

Ugh.

2) These are the only legit reasons. (Parody)
3) Trump voters.
4) extremely troubling vaccine skeptic trend in GOP voters.
5) but mainly Trump voters and GOP men.

DEAR GOD—“The largest public health & hospital collapse in the history of Brazil 🇧🇷”—wow.

➡️ 25 of 27 Brazilian state capitals have ICUs capacities between or above 80%, 19 are higher than 90% capacity. #P1 variant is 2-2.5x more contagious. 🧵#COVID19
agencia.fiocruz.br/observatorio-c…
2) This is the humanitarian crises that is unfolding in Brazil. The deaths are mounting with no end in sight as well. #P1 variant is just that brutal.
3) Fiocruz (Brazilian CDC): “the largest health and hospital collapse in the history of Brazil”. Almost 3K dead today. The southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul notified 502 dead, a massive new state record by a large margin.

I warned that many schools will end up buying ineffective crap air cleaners like ionizers (crap!) instead of things that work like HEPA filters & UV if no prioritization in school relief aid package.

Lo and behold - @smartrestartaps @HeidiNBC—my earlier sinking fears confirms.
2) We need good safe indoor air quality. Achieved via either natural ventilation (windows or HVAC) or via air cleaning via HEPA filters or UV disinfection (both CDC recommended).

Here is the latest CDC school air quality guiadance for #COVID19
3) So much JUNK air products out there. Beware.

“I would estimate that the air-purification industry as a whole is 50 to 75 percent illegitimate. You’re dealing with an industry that doesn’t want consumers to understand these devices and how they work.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Let this sink in:

➡️Those who shout “Look at the blood clots”—whenever it’s not even proven...

➡️Turn around & dismiss the proven vaccine benefits—

➡️And downplay #COVID19 risk with “oh it’s no big deal, I will be fine”—

➡️Usually ignore that 2.66 million people have died 🤷🏻‍♂️
2) And yes, 2.66 million have died from #COVID19 damnit. And it doesn’t even include the latest data from March yet due to reporting delays.
3) And yes UK says the AZ vaccine is safe.

Trump WH #COVID19 coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx on Trump’s “inject bleach” comment: “I still think about it every day.”

Maybe the “I’m just following orders” silence wasn’t the best when people were dying.

Also, that’s what they all said at Nuremberg.
2) at least she has nice scarves and outfits? @birxfit
3) that moment.

📍Variant “bypasses” PCR tests—French govt is warning of a new #SARSCoV2 variant that escapes detection by standard PCR tests. Because is it harder to detect, WHO has placed it in category of “variant under investigation” due to its bypassing PCR tests. 🧵
politico.eu/article/new-fr…
2) Good thing is that so far, the “initial analyses of this new variant doesn’t suggest either increased severity or increased transmissibility”.
3) However, the French authorities are not fooling around — they have released an URGENT bulletin warning about this new variant that was discovered in Brittany (of France).

BREAKING—UK’s FDA (@MHRAgovuk) declares again that its assessment of the #AstraZeneca vaccine show there is no evidence blood clots are any more likely (compared to expected typical population).

#COVID19 #CovidVaccine
2) Dr Phil Bryan, vaccines safety lead at the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said people "should still go and get their Covid-19 vaccine when asked to do so."
3) "We are closely reviewing reports but given the large number of doses administered, and the frequency at which blood clots can occur naturally, the evidence available does not suggest the vaccine is the cause."

(Assessing this is what we PhD epidemiologists specialize in)
