Infographic 🧵

Inspired by @NjbBari3’s observation that masks may be more palatable now b/c it may be “acceptable to have a seasonally appropriate accessory”

Pls share pragmatic advice with friends, fam members, colleagues who may be considering returning to masking this winter Image

🧵 transcribed excerpts from excellent interview on Long Covid with @domknight & @Mon4Kooyong (ABC Sydney) yesterday

Makes a significant difference to interview quality when a journalist is well informed about Covid/long Covid & not running a minimising, disinformation line 🙏 Image

🧵 2 weeks ago, Independent MP Dr Monique Ryan called on govt to urgently review dropping of masks in healthcare in a powerful statement to parliament

This is what she said:

“The Australian Charter of Healthcare gives all Australians the right to safe, high quality healthcare
Our Nat Cab promised to protect the vulnerable from the COVID-19 pandemic. This promise has not been kept

Yesterday Sue Jennings, a constituent from Kooyong & co-founder with Amy Lewis of Cleaner Air Aus, contacted me to express her concern about removal of masks from healthcare
There are no longer any legal requirements for healthcare workers to wear protective masks. All pandemic orders have now expired

Chronically ill, disabled and elderly Australians can avoid restaurants, shops and travel to protect themselves from Covid, but

🧵 8 reasons why WHO disagrees with CMO Kelly’s ludicrous maths (in its own words)

Kelly claims Aus has achieved 99.6% hybrid immunity (stack of posts already disproving this in a myriad of ways)

WHO’s published advice on immunity shows this is incorrect in 8 different ways
1. too many individual factors

“immune protection may differ by vaccine, time since vaccination/infection, variants & host-specific factors eg age & comorbidities”

Hybrid immunity can’t be a population level concept because we are all different & impacted by different factors
2. antibodies levels vary

“amount of antibodies produced in individual due to infection/vaccination & waning over time, determined by multiple factors eg age, variant, severity of infection & vaccine product(s) etc”

Can’t keep track of all this to point of certainty of immunity

🧵 Hybrid immunity: an elastic, moving target🤔

A friend asked me about the conveniently malleable definition of hybrid immunity- could I find a source to show it changed?

Yes I could- I found CMO Kelly used the traditional WHO definition right up to a couple of months ago 🤨
Nov 22

CMO Paul Kelly said

“Australians' “hybrid immunity" — immunity gained from BOTH vaccinations AND previous infections — will keep MANY protected from severe disease”

Note: individual concept (many not all) & “BOTH” & “AND”

amp.abc.net.au/article/101622…
April 2023

CMO Kelly said “Australia had reached a significant milestone: almost every citizen is now immune. Hybrid immunity, which refers to combination, at a POPULATION level, of antibodies from EITHER past infection OR vaccination against Covid-19, has now reached 99.6%”

🧵 Did I just find a huge flaw in both the recent TSP article and CMO Kelly/dept of Health’s “facts”? 😳

Let’s pretend to be journalists (b/c they’re not doing their job anymore) & look at hybrid immunity

(Put aside for a second the value or lack thereof in hybrid immunity)
WHO definition of hybrid immunity:

“Hybrid immunity is defined as the immune protection in INDIVIDUALS who have had one or more doses of a Covid-19 vaccine AND experienced at least one SARS-CoV-2 infection before or after vaccination”

Note: “AND” & “INDIVIDUALS”
Amy Coopes’ definition of hybrid immunity in TSP article

“Hybrid immunity, which refers to the combination, at a POPULATION level, of antibodies from either past infection OR vaccination against Covid-19”

Note: “OR” & “POPULATION”
