25. Getting that Pfizer library of vax clinical trial data - its fine to look at it, but remember that Pfizer didn't approve their own vaccine. Its taking time to release the documents because all federally protected patient information and company trade secrets must be deleted.
Obtener esa biblioteca de datos de ensayos clĂnicos de đź’‰de Pfizer: está bien mirarla, pero recuerde que Pfizer no aprobĂł su propia vacuna.
Se necesita tiempo publicar los documentos porque toda la informaciĂłn del paciente protegida por el gobierno federal y los secretos comerciales de la empresa deben eliminarse.
26. COIs of Pfizer authors - Pfizer physicians and researchers will want to work on Pfizer projects. The experience necessary isn't available anywhere. All academic centers legally require disclosure of COIs. Do you prefer that any bloke off the street is recruited instead?
La experiencia necesaria no está disponible en cualquier parte. Todos los universidades exigen legalmente la divulgación de los COI. ¿Prefieres que en su lugar se reclute a cualquier persona?
27. The CDC has redefined vaccine - this is a meaningless semantic argument. If you are upset that the COVID vaccines now require 3 vaccinations, I invite you to read your childhood vaccination list.
El CDC ha redefinido la vacuna: este es un argumento semántico sin sentido. Si te molesta que las vacunas contra el COVID ahora requieran 3 vacunas, te invito a leer tu lista de vacunación infantil. @threadreaderapp
17. Myocarditis mortality is 20% at 6.5 years/ Clots form in your heart - This is a misrepresentation of an adult myocarditis study. Clots can happen after vax, but they are far more common w/ SARS-COV2. The people who scare you about myocarditis usually aren't the cardiologists.
10. Control groups didn't control for previous infection - we're getting better at predicting old COVID infection but current tests have their limitations. Given that these limitations were worse at the beginning of the trials, it is highly likely that they were included.
1. Relative vs absolute risk reduction: Vaccine effectiveness has always been calculated using RRR; there is no secret statistical conspiracy. This explains in more detail: reuters.com/article/factch…

TLDR: 1. Not all things in science are debatable. Pundits would have you think otherwise. 2. General debate tactics don't necessarily fly in scientific debate.
Witness an example of a really well done scientific debate on Quantum physics (citation credits @WorldSciFest :
#MedTwitter Hi again from your neighborhood cardiologist - This article from the UK is getting quite a lot of interest because it has worked harder in determining the incidence of COVID vaccine myocarditis after boosters. Let's think through this one. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
#Vaccineswork#COVID19#COVID19France#COVID19Vic#tweetiatrician The structure of their study is essentially that they looked at 42 million Brits >13 years of age and checked, based upon national medical records, whether or not they had COVID disease myocarditis, Vax myo, and...
Which dose and which vaccine it happened after (COVID disease, Moderna, Ox-Astra Zeneca, or Pfizer). They found some data that correlate with the prior Nature study at nature.com/articles/s4159… .
#Medtwitter#Cardiotwitter for the crowd who thinks docs aren't reliable sources of information on COVID vaccines, please consider hearing it directly from this patient who almost died because she waited for Novavax. Translated from DE. Please hear it from @citoyen_lauris .
After a month's break on Twitter, I'm back with my personal Covid experience.
I've been back from the hospital for three days - 19 days of which have been in the intensive care unit. With my new constant companion, the home oxygen.
