🔥 @WSJ article about our prelim injunction against #AB2098

"Judge Shubb’s ruling is a warning to lawmakers in other progressive states contemplating similar legislation...Newsom should have known the law was unconstitutional, but he signed it anyway"

wsj.com/articles/calif…
I am so glad people's eyes are being opened to how utterly non-sensical the text of AB-2098 is. So much of what Judge Shubb said we had in our testimonies and @LauraPowellEsq & I have been pointing out since we started testifying/writing in opposition last spring.
It's scary such a harmful, unconstitutional, even uninterpretable bill that would silence physicians can become law in California .. apparently just because it was democratic & voting for this bill tended to go right down party lines.
And if you disagree with me, we are looking for someone who is willing to debate *in favor of* AB-2098.
@akheriaty is hosting a debate on Twitter Spaces on Thurs 2/2 at 9:30 am pst. Let me or him know if you are interested.
More details about the event to come soon.

🤔Personally, I don't need RCTs to know I'm not getting more than the 2 I had. 2nd was against my will & my 11 & 14 yo sons don't need any & have had 0. It's about gauging personal risk from covid.
Vax doesn't prevent transmission
I'd like to see RCTs of bivalent in high risk 🧵
I also had an adverse reaction to dose 1 moderna and, if I could do it again, I would not have had any covid vaccines.
The last 10+ years I've had nothing more than a sniffle from a URI and also refuse the influenza vaccine if given the chance.
I was glad my parents in their 70s could get covid vaccinated but have yet to see non-confounded data to advise them about the bivalent booster. I would have liked to see an RCT for the bivalent for people their age and for adults with health conditions that put them at risk.

Cool experience filming a documentary about our lawsuit against AB2098, the physician censorship law (film being made by pros @AzadehKhatibi & team)
Hearing Monday
It's essential physicians retain the right to give patients accurate info
Grateful the CA ACLU is on our side 1/
The amicus brief specifically for our case (Høeg v Newsom) from ACLU Northern & Southern California states "as even the State acknowledges, it does not need AB 2098 to keep patients safe"
And goes on to explain more
Also from ACLU:
"Given the ambiguities..of AB 2098..physicians will be loath to speak their minds & share their opinions w patients..At any point, the State could determine that a physician has violated AB 2098 for sharing an unconventional opinion & take away their...license"

2 major issues in comparing covid vs vax myocarditis:
1. Data need to be stratified (young males post dose 2 at highest risk of post vax myo)
2. Most studies undercount covid infections & thus overestimate post covid myo
This review👇 is misleading esp for highest risk group
🧵
For example Patone et al (ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…) undercounted infections as estimated by Bourdon & Pantazatos using UK ONS inf data arxiv.org/abs/2210.14955
They estimated males <40 had
>6x higher risk of myo post dose 2 moderna
& higher risk post dose 2 pfizer than post covid
I keep referring back to this study in @JAMACardio bc the Nordics had a high asympt testing rate so have been less likely to undercount infections & they stratified even better than Patone by looking at a higher risk group 16-24 M post pfizer-moderna

Deaths with vs from covid
Distinguishing has required death certificate review in Denmark ( & now Finland doing the same as of 12/2022)
Danish data here showing
🟡with🔴from increased to 60-70% with vs from in 2022
LA county now says 15-20% deaths incidental, but based on what?🧵
Finland reported up to 40% of the deaths attributed to covid during the pandemic were incidental (yle.fi/a/3-12668492)
Below they describe how as of 12/2022 they report based on screening of death certificates & not proximity to covid diagnosis
thl.fi/en/web/thlfi-e…
Here is an even more recent breakdown of the Danish data showing the 60-70% incidental deaths in 2022

🇩🇰Fascinating article in the major Danish newspaper @politiken about Dr @StabellBenn & her participation in @GovRonDeSantis public health committee
She states Florida, like Denmark, was quick to reopen schools, didn't mask kids, stopped recommending vax for non high risk young
🧵
Re the CDC she says
"Der er udkommet forskningsartikler fra CDC, som jeg ville have dumpet."

"There have been some research articles published by the @CDCgov that I would have given failing grades to"
and goes on to talk about the CDC denying natural immunity
She also talks about how she very likely would have moved to Florida if she had lived in the US because of how they handled the covid pandemic.
And that the CDC seemed more about selling a message ("ville opnå en bestemt vinkel") rather than tell the truth

Meanwhile, in the 🇺🇸, adults need not mask
But children😷continue to be subject to the whims of neurotic adults who don't understand mask evidence*

*the existing studies claiming masking children prevents covid transmission aren't good evidence & are confounded (even in @nejm)🧵
Re the confounded study published in Pediatrics funded by the @NIH
See letter @VPrasadMDMPH, @smalltownpeddoc
& I wrote here about differences in contact tracing policies that could have entirely explained the lower case rates in masked schools
publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art…
See my discussion in @Sensible__Med of why the use of Diff in Diff Design to infer causality in the Cowger et al Study in @NEJM was statistically inappropriate due to time-varying confounders.
(Full published reanalysis coming hopefully soon)
