The study was small, and experts say it needs to be replicated. But for 18 people with rectal cancer, the outcome led to “happy tears.”

As the monkeypox virus (MPX) outbreak continues, a lot of data emerging in real-time & being rapidly disseminated (as well as misinformation). I complied the unfolding scientific data (with direct links to papers and threads) on what we (don’t) know so far. #IDTwitter 🧵(1/n)

Hard to believe a public health agency is running a campaign to drive vaccination by scaring people about cost of seeking care. Is CDC unaware of gaps in our healthcare system that already leave many vulnerable Americans excessively exposed to the costs and consequences of Covid?

I haven't written much about omicron, because 1) there's a lot we still don't know; 2) others have written good shit that I've been RTing; and 3) I feel like I'm repeating myself from ...everything I've written before. But maybe a few words on what's concerning me right now. 🧵

.@ashishkjha answers a question on many people’s minds. How long to isolate if you test positive. 5 days plus a confirming quick test at the end is his answer and he explains why.

As Omicron cases explode We need a strategy for isolating folks who test positive We need to think about the purpose of isolation clearly Because if we don't get it right, It'll both be hugely disruptive and won't keep us safe So let's discuss what we need to do Thread

When folks think about highly vaccinated places in America They think Vermont or CT or MA Those places are good But not the most vaccinated place in America So who's #1? Puerto Rico! But PR has gotten way too little attention Its worth reflecting on how they did it Thread

This deep look from @zeynep at who the unvaccinated really are is spectacularly good. Eg: "The most powerful predictor of who remained unvaccinated was not age, politics, race, income or location, but the lack of health insurance." nytimes.com/2021/10/15/opini…

Women have been treated by clinicians and scientists as if they were just like men with a “one size fits all” approach to clinical care. @drstaceyrosen, @DrJMieres and @NashBeth explain how sex matters in healthcare. #RaiseWomensHealth nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-o…

Breaking News: The WHO approved the first ever malaria vaccine, which could save tens of thousands of children in sub-Saharan Africa. The quest for this vaccine has been underway for a hundred years, a WHO official said, and is a "historic event." nyti.ms/3oxUgAy

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Minor correction but the WHO didn’t “approve” the vaccine — they “recommend” it. The WHO doesn’t have authority to approve vaccines. who.int/news/item/06-1… Phase 3 results of this vaccine were first published and the vaccine was approved by EMA in 2015.
