@RKFMiller of @UCSDHealth @ #CROI2023 looked at elementary school wastewater & observed masking of kids at pickup, found: for each 10% incr in proportion of masking, chance of 1 Covid case on campus in next 5 days ⬇️ by 50%.
Rebecca Fielding-Miller @rkfmiller of @UCSDHealth on masking kids: She worries about #longCovid in kids, and each Covid case in kids means parent can't go to work for 5-10 days. “It’s just better for kids to be less sick so parents can have the money to take care of their kids.”
Meanwhile, the #CROI2023 organizers are not messing around with their Covid masking policy.

A bombshell article by @writingblock challenges claims by activists that the science supporting the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors is "settled" and that the use of puberty blockers and hormones in transgender kids is "evidence based." 🧵⬇️

Many argue that giving puberty blockers and hormones to trans minors is uncontroversial & backed by high-quality science. Block's reporting disputes this. Swedish health authorities, for example, say the risks "currently outweigh the possible benefits". 2/

@glaad, in its recent protest before the @nytimes building, echoed a common refrain: that "the science is settled" regarding giving puberty blockers and hormones to trans-identifying minors. @writingblock's peer-reviewed reporting challenges this claim. 3/ press.psprings.co.uk/bmj/february/t… Image

JK Rowling cozies up to Matt Walsh, saying she liked his film about transgender identity. Walsh has leveraged violent, incendiary rhetoric to excoriate those who treat gender dysphoria in minors. Rowling has infuriated activists with her trans-exclusionary radical feminism. Image
Here is my report for @NBCNews @NBCOUT on how Matt Walsh's attacks on Vanderbilt's treatment of gender dysphoria in minors teed up Gov @BillLeeTN's rejection of $8.3 million in annual CDC funding for HIV in Tennessee. nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-ou…

The CDC's #ACIP meeting on #mpox/#monkeypox is going on. Some interesting stats! Cases have remained overwhelmingly among men who have sex with men. Cases in kids have been extremely rare. Vaccine uptake has been racially inequitable. 🧵⬇️ ImageImageImageImage
The CDC estimates the Jynneos mpox vaccine efficacy based on 9,544 mpox cases among men 18-49 from July 31-Oct 1. Mpox rates were 7.4 times higher than those with 1 dose of the vax and 9.6 times higher than those with 2 doses. No difference based on subdermal vs intradermal. 2/ ImageImage
More mpox stats: 3/ ImageImageImageImage

@MattWalshBlog is furious that right wingers and others he thinks would normally be sympathetic to his cause, and to his diatribes, have been criticizing him for his abject cruelty toward trans people, in particular his video excoriating Dylan Mulvaney.

Matt Walsh employs violent, incendiary rhetoric to stir up moral panic against transgender people as he proclaims he’d rather die than have a trans child.
Here is my reporting for @NBCNews @NBCOUT on the sprawling impacts of @MattWalshBlog’s incendiary rhetoric about the care of trans youth. nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-ne…
