Since I’m sick of seeing #Covid patients tonight, here are #COVIDVaccine myths busted (thread)

1/ “the (mRNA) vaccine was rushed” - no, it wasn’t. It went through standard stage 2 FDA process, which is typically 3-6 months. n= 43,258. There were 10 “severe” reactions—9 were in placebo group

2/ For comparison, Viagra had 3,000 participants in phase 2, & it lasted 4 weeks. So vaccine is safer & better studied than Viagra, fellas

@Jabaluck

And now I make every argument @Jabaluck made about physicians making too much and adding to healthcare costs, only with professors adding to higher education costs (THREAD)

1/ Did you know the US pays more in tuition for college than any other country in the world?!?

@jabaluck

2/ If you include Private Tuition like @jabaluck's illustrious @Yale , we're about at least 3x more than the next closest countries

@sjauhar

Yes our health system has lots of waste. But @sjauhar’s op-Ed makes incorrect assumptions that are just flat out wrong (thread)

1/ Back in late March/early April, I saw the most string of codes (or patients who essentially were had died at home) in my career. Why is that? 🤔

2/ well we know there has been a spike in extra non-Covid deaths, likely from avoiding hospital care nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Let’s recap what’s happening again w/ Surprise Billing developments, May 2020 (thread) 1/

2/ a *prominent academic physician whose image is to be an advocate for pts by exposing the problems in the system, is taking grants from a foundation who supports the commercial payors, who want more consolidation, which will raise profits for them and costs for patients.

Thread on some ED Doc's thoughts on dealing with #COVID19US on frontlines

1/ First PPE: At this point, everyone should be wearing a surgical mask at your desk and in ED. No eating or drinking unless in Staff lounge, away from patient care

2/ When going into a potential #Covid19 room, wear a N-95 if you have it. Put a surgical (eg. regular) mask over it to protect it, then wear a face shield over that. Googles not as good, but we'll take what we can get.
