Last evening, we discussed the new @CDCgov guidelines, purportedly a shift to "protect the vulnerable," but fail to do so on many counts
New #CDC guidelines "double down on flawed, not evidence based" recommendations, says Dr @EricTopol, #Covid advice on schools, isolation, transmission etc are lacking, plus: "Our vaccine rates are abysmal - both primary vaccine and booster numbers are pitifully low."

This is our @CDCgov X No warning on BA.5 X Still says 2 vaccine doses ="fully vaccinated" X Says 5 days is all that's needed for isolation when 5 days is the median length of infectiousness X 1 in 4 age 50 w/ 2nd booster (<-survival benefit) X Transmission is the accurate map👇

The @CDCgov doubles down on its flawed, not evidence based Covid recommendations with a new guidance document 1. Leaves fully vaccinated = 2 shots, stay "up to date" 2. Leaves isolation at 5 days w/o rapid tests 3. Pushes "community levels" when real info is "transmission levels"

Replying to @EricTopol @CDCgov
From Albert Camus’ novel The Plague: “There is pestilence and there are victims. One should never be on the side of the pestilence.” When I first read that quote 2 years ago I couldn’t understand it - who would ever be on the side of the pestilence? Now I understand.

The CDC has convinced the majority of Americans that the pandemic is over. Many schools are starting the year with zero mitigation. According to the Walgreens Covid tracker my state is at 37% positivity and yet few have this info. Don’t Look Up; we’ve all been gaslit!

We are waiting for leadership to step up and accelerate the development of mucosal #COVID19 vaccines @Vaxart that can effectively block infection & reduce transmission in our communities @AshishKJha46 @SenSanders @SenFeinstein @SenWarren @ChrisCoons @SenatorLeahy @VP @PattyMurray

Most embryos created for #IVF don't survive past five days once fertilized. Why? A study in @CellCellPress from NYSCF - Robertson #StemCell Investigator Alumnus & former NYSCF Research Institute scientist @EgliDieter of @Columbia finds a potential culprit: bit.ly/3JJeRdR

It feels out of touch to tweet about science when we face crisis after crisis in the world. But after 4 years of submissions and getting scooped, this study on a stem cell model of diabetes due to HNF1A deficiency by @Dr_BryanGonz is finally published! bit.ly/3Qe40dF
