Do you see the gap? The disconnect between how politicians and media downplay the risks of #LongCovid compared to what the emerging science says? I do, and for the sake of my friends and family, I want to do something about it. And I need your help. worldhealthnetwork.global/databank

1/ The gaslighting is intense. Do you feel it? That desperation to go back to 2019, especially for the vast majority of folks who have already weathered their first Covid infection? For so many, happily, it didn't seem that bad! Maybe there's nothing to this pandemic after all?

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is the @CDCgov group that develops vaccine recommendations for children and adults. I've already submitted a comment — see my other 🧵 below — but I wanted to examine their perspective on our push to @ImmunizeUnder5s.

Adding my voice — as I hope you will yours — to the voices of so many parents and pediatricians before the ACIP meeting on Apr 20. "The committee is charged with advising the @CDCDirector on the use of immunizing agents." Here's what I told them at regulations.gov/commenton/CDC-… ...

1/ You don't need me to lecture you on the mRNA vaccines' immunobridging or neutralizing antibody data for kids under 5, which is solid. You shouldn't need me to remind you that it's no longer possible, in the Omicron era, to get symptomatic infection efficacy numbers ...

I am a parent of two children under five. I have studied the science. I have examined study after study. And while there will be more studies and more science to come, the conclusion seems inescapable, as inconvenient as it may be ...

1/ Covid has the potential to severely harm adults and children alike. It is unconscionable and unethical to withhold from parents and pediatricians the only form of protection remaining to them as mask mandates end and the world ceases to concern itself with avoiding the virus.
