The people have spoken! Y'all wanted a playlist of songs about immunology & vaccines 💉

I dedicate my list to the many immunologists & virologists who I've learned so much from during COVID-19, such as @VirusesImmunity @florian_krammer @andrew_croxford & @angie_rasmussen

1/11
We begin with a special track arising from a @PENamerica campaign:

"Antibodies" by Vietnamese songwriter/activist Mai Khôi & Lebanese vocalist Hamed Sinno

They "navigated profound risks to share their voices for the song" [bit.ly/31ZDpKh]

2/11
Next up: the Oakland, California-based band Tower of Power giving us "Soul Vaccination."

This track is from their 1973 self-titled 3rd album.

"Soul vaccination say roll up your sleeve
Cuz if you ain't buggin' you might still got the disease"

And we're off!

Kudos to @malar0ne for organizing this.
First up: a discussion of the "let the virus" rip strategy pushed by the Great Barrington Declaration.

GBD wanted herd immunity from natural infection.
They influenced policy:

"From Oct 2020-Jan 2021, we allowed 270,000 people to die in the US," said Prof Lauren Ancel Meyers
Fascinating discussion of "overshoot," as described by @CT_Bergstrom & @nataliexdean. Prof Meyers says that Britain's strategy of regular testing is valuable in this context.

The American jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard was born on this day in 1938🎺

His beautiful music enriched our lives.

One of his masterpieces was Red Clay. I pay tribute by sharing my 5 favorite ever versions of this stone cold classic.

The original 1/5

Mark Murphy's vocal version 'On the Red Clay' is 🎆🎇🔥

From his '75 album Mark Murphy Sings.

Randy Brecker on🎺

"Scream door slappin' somewhere on a side porch
A sleepy morning way out in the boon docks
Stories are being told on the red clay"

2/5
Now a musical 'holy grail,' impossible to get hold of until Germany's Tramp Records reissued it.

This cover is by Gunn High School Jazz Reunion.

INTENSE soulful funk-adjacent jazz. That bass! The vocals by Randy Greer! Stanley Jordan guitar solo!

Musical interlude.

I've been listening to a LOT of Abby Lincoln & Max Roach, one of the finest musical duos in history

It got me wondering: which other musicians who are/were in a romantic relationship produced great music? Let me know who I missed
1/11
Honestly, up there with Lincoln & Roach it HAS to be Doug & Jean Carn. Their 1973 album Revelation is one of my favorites of theirs. The title track is 🔥🔥🔥

Folks, I'm not going chronologically, I'm all over the map.

Next up is one of the world's best electronic duos, Matmos: Martin Schmidt & Drew Daniel.

I once interviewed them for a piece I wrote in @bmj_latest! (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…)

At the age of 80, Pharoah Sanders, one of the world's greatest living musicians, just released one of his finest ever albums, "Promises"

This got me wondering: who else born before 1950 is still crushing it musically?

A thread of 10 of my favorites 1/11

floatingpoints.bandcamp.com/album/promises
I had to start of course with Marshall Allen, who is 96. I saw him perform a few years ago with the Sun Ra Arkestra in London, @gillespeterson's Worldwide Awards. He was ON FIRE. In 2020 they put out a great new album (their first in over 20 years) 2/11

Am I the world's biggest Grace Jones fan or is it my kid brother, @YameyDesigns, who had posters of her all over his bedroom as a kid?

She's 72 & is rumored to be releasing a new album any day now. Her most recent album (her 10th), came out in 2008 3/11

I gave a talk last night @DukeU on R&D for neglected diseases.

Mini-thread of reflections 🧵

20 years ago I teamed up with @ElsTorreele on an editorial for @bmj_latest called "The world's most neglected diseases" [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…]

Have things changed since then? 1/n
Yes, we still have a LONG way to go. Our team co-authored a new study of the pipeline of candidate products for neglected diseases. There are still VERY few candidates for diarrheal diseases, salmonella infections, helminths & kinetoplastid infections 2/n

f1000research.com/articles/9-416
BUT, there has been notable progress over the last 20 years:

💲 Since 2007, the research group @PCuresResearch has tracked annual financing of R&D for these diseases. In FY2007, there was $2.7B in funding. In FY2018, funding reached $4B, a new high. 3/n
