#Thredjacking I hope you don’t mind @KatherineEban.

I am seriously sick of this reactionary well poisoning! #Thread 🧵
Right here is the stats on the current irrational fear over blood clots. Thank you @angie_rasmussen for this.
For more context:

Being hit by lightening: 1/ 500,000

Being hit by a car 1/ 5,000

You still walk in the rain and drive places.
.@DrWoodcockFDA the proper message here was not to pause the EUA but was to state the facts and that you are potentially looking at an IMPROVED DOSING REGIMEN to better protect ppl.

Way to pull a trump and poison this well.
I fully expect to see another 6 months of covid now because you have basically removed a vaccine from the market.
Adding this thread in. Thanks @VincentRK

Afternoon peeps. I was asked by @DataDrivenMD to provide some FDA context to his thread on the #JohnsonandJohnson vaccine pause. #Thread 🧵
I’m going to start this thread by asking you to think back way beyond what you had for breakfast. All the way back to me bitching about low trial size.
My concern then was that we did not have enough ppl enrolled to truly find the weird stuff (J&J had their EUA based on 22k trial participants).

Fast forward to today!

We have finally reached enough ppl in the vaccine trial to find the weird stuff.

It’s Tuesday and that means tacos & talking shit. For today’s #Thread 🧵, I’m going to go full cable show talking head on the @AstraZeneca vaccine. (This is a complete opinion thread but you better bookmark it. I have a feeling I’m spot on in my analysis.)
Yesterday, it was all over the news that #AstraZeneca was going to release its trial data and that it looked “GREAT!”. And by great that meant on a 2 shot vaccine it protected 100% against death and sever hospitalization and had a ~79% efficacy rate (Which is just above J&J).
For contrast the J&J is ~75% effective on one dose with the same 100% prevention of death and hospitalization. On the face of it, you think they are the same.

To the #science we talked about this morning that will apply to educators. #Thread 🧵
We have said this before that schools need to be looked at not as schools but as a commuter city. Everyone for every economic level drives in, works and leaves. Taking with them the days happenings.
We now have the data to support that viewpoint. The data : jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

This Monday, I got word my vaccine was pushed back a month and I’m pissed! A #Thread 🧵on how OWS has fucked us all.
For this thread, I will be focusing on the @pfizer vaccine but this will cover all of them in general.

Right now Pfizer has over a Million doses sitting in its warehouse in Portage Mi. We could empty that warehouse and have every states allotment based on supply to each...
... state in 36 hours. Within 48 hours we could be dosing the million ppl a day @JoeBiden is asking for.

And forgive me but this thread is going to get long and go deep in some weeds.

It’s Monday, let’s change your frame of mind. #Thread 🧵#StrainVirus
There’s a new “strain” (Don’t at us, we know the discussion back and forth. We are going with what the media is saying) of #COVID19 that is ~70% more infectious.
Notice that we said infectious not transmittable as the media keeps saying.

Last night I got a text saying “Talk to me about the vaccine”

Here’s how I responded... #Thread 🧵
(For a frame of reference, this is a friend with a masters of education.)

D (Dallas)- The vaccine is good, I’ve read the trial protocol and the efficacy paper.

F (friend)- So what do you think?

D- I’ve got my spot in line to get it, I’m getting it.
D- The vaccine is going to generate a have and have nots in our society. Not getting it will hurt your lively hood.

F- What about its safety? Long term side effects?

D- Most side effects are diagnosed within the first 2 months of a full dose. We are 3 months in.
