Wanted to share all the articles I've written on the COVID vaccines in one place. When I have time I want to make a page on youcanknowthings.com for common vaccine FAQs, but... med school is keeping me busy, so for now, a twitter thread will do.

#SciComm #ScienceUpFirst
1. Step-by-step, hand-animated review of the Pfizer vaccine data (safety and efficacy):

2. What mRNA is, and why the mRNA vaccines won't edit your genome:

3. Ten common COVID vaccine myths debunked:

4. Addressing the myth that COVID vaccines impact fertility:

5. Fact-checking Dr. Frank Shallenberger's viral vaccine letter (written in Dec by my friend and colleague, Dr. Sana Zekri, MD). This has been one of the most visited articles on my blog:

6. Fact-checking Dr. Mercola's 'How vaccines may destroy the lives of millions' article:

youcanknowthings.com/2021/03/15/fac…
That's all for now, will keep posting them here as I write more!
7. Addressing the rumors that the COVID vaccines have caused thousands of deaths, which comes from a gross misinterpretation of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. youcanknowthings.com/2021/06/13/are…

It’s slow right now in the ICU, so here it is… the thread you’ve never seen before….

Tips for new interns.
First, we must get this out of the way. Saying “it’s slow” does not actually impact the number of sick patients about to come your way. You don’t have that much power.

Nevertheless, everyone will be mad at you if you say this out loud, so probs don’t say this out loud.
2. In residency you will constantly be asked things you don’t know, and get to play the very fun game of “was I taught this in med school and forgot” or “have I never heard of this before this very moment?”

What are vitamin K shots, and why do we give them to fresh lil' newborns?

A thread on why we give vitamin K to the little ones. Image
This is vitamin K. It is a vitamin. Basically everyone agrees that vitamins (in the right doses) are good for people. Our bodies need them. Image
Our bodies use vitamin K for a variety of things, but one of the most critical is clotting factors.

The clotting cascade strikes fear in the heart of medical students for how complex it is.... ImageImage

You may recall Florida's vaccine analysis which claimed that mRNA vaccines are associated with increased risk of cardiac death in young men.

This week, @TB_Times published earlier, unpublished drafts of that analysis.

Those earlier drafts tell a dramatically different story... Image
The @TB_Times obtained 5 previous drafts of the analysis from an anonymous source. These drafts show very different results and/or conclusions compared to the final version of the report released last October.

I have a lot of thoughts about the Cochrane mask analysis, and will try to summarize them soon. But right now I'm only going to talk about one of them:

the Denmark study.
As you have probably heard by now, the Cochrane review looks at randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) of mask use for respiratory infections. The majority of studies were conducted before the pandemic, and only two during the pandemic: one in Denmark, and one in Bangladesh.
The Denmark study was conducted in spring of 2020 and published in March 2021. When it was published, it caused a lot of controversy and many people pointed out flaws...

You may have heard the shocking headline that 250,000 people die every year in the US due to misdiagnosis in the ER.

You may be even more shocked to know that this statistic is extrapolated from the death of...

just one man.

in a Canadian ER.

over a decade ago.
These shocking numbers are the results of a report published by the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ), reported in the NY Times this week:

nytimes.com/2022/12/15/hea…
But as it turns out, the methods used to arrive at these estimates are very, very bad.

Let's go through them and see why...

Great thread here by @ENirenberg dissecting why the serious adverse events reported in the moderna vaccine study on kids is not as alarming as the FL state surgeon general is suggesting.

I would add two other quick points:
First, the vaccine group (N = 1761) was 3 times larger than the placebo group (N = 589). If you are comparing raw numbers of adverse events, you would expect there to be fewer in the placebo group simply because there are fewer kids overall in that group.
Second, as Ed already pointed out, the majority of these severe adverse events have a clear cause that is not the vaccine. When assessing vaccine safety, you don't just add up the number of severe adverse events and draw conclusions on that information alone.
