Immunodeficient life:
I broke a tooth 🦷 while eating a sandwich 🍞with cherry 🍒jelly because a pit in one of the cherries was missed and not removed.
It is now badly 🦠infected
- I am on 3⃣ 💊antibiotics with high 🌡️ fever.
Tomorrow 🏥I have to have the abcess🩸 drained. Antibiotics will be changed from oral to I.v. if the fever fails to resolve by tomorrow.
I'm told hospitalization is a real possibility.
From a pit, in a cherry, in jelly.

🆕: COVID-19🦠vaxx-💉-response in a cohort of
#immunocompromised children
organ-transplant; stem-cell transplant; rheum, +
- 2 vs 3 dose study
go.nature.com/3hERBn3 #serverless #openscience #scicomm #itrtg #iot #raredisease #datascience #immunology A majority of the children mounted effective humoral repsonse following 2 doses; increase to near 100% following.
Caveat: these study authors recommend a 3-dose regimen in immunocompromised pediatric patients.

▪️ High-profile man on Twitter tweets an article he had no part in writing - gets 100s of RTs & likes, and "thanks."
▪️ Woman who authored the paper after year(s) of hard work, tweets it and gets NO RTs, 1 like, and no "thanks."
F-CK that.
