No, not the case in the UK. There are a few grad entry schemes but vast majority do it as a first degree. Check facts before asserting.
You need a first degree to go on to do medicine. And who knows what it was in, could be a medicine-adjacent degree such as biology which pretty sure would help with a medical degree 👀

Dear Twitter experts @kallmemeg @andrew_croxford @DrCJ_Houldcroft
What is the optimal interval post infection to get boosted? Thanks 🙏🏻

You can read the speech for yourself but this is the reality “Every Labour government inherits the same task from the Tories – to revitalise neglected public services.
It will fall to us to do the same again – and we will”

I’m going to delete this account soon, this week feels a good time, and start over with a new identity, as less of a Twitter novice. Still anonymous, perhaps recognisable to a few, aiming to be a little wiser. See ya!

At last….
As part of Plan B the Government wants to bring in vaccine passports. This will be debated on Tuesday.
There are civil liberties at stake, and good reasons to doubt they will help protect us and get us out of the pandemic.

I’m sure most of my half dozen followers will have seen this interesting thread. Made me consider that breakthrough infections build immunity (but clearly rn we need quick boosting). Food for thought.
This diagram shows estimated increase in intrinsic transmissibility from work by @marlinfiggins (teapawt.org/trvrb/status/144756657…) along with fold drop in neutralization titer compiled from Uriu et al (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…) and similar papers. 2/15

I read with interest that apparently govnt guidance to check covid status for large events has led to cancelled (outdoor) municipal events. Are football matches/races etc checking covid status?

DAK who is actually deciding covid testing policy? Issues like use of LFTs, testing policy for contacts (ignoring the school daily LFT trial), symptom list for PCR, etc. Seems a crucial part of our winter plan but no transparency at all, no experts weighing evidence…

The usual structures for technology and screening assessment (Screening Cttee, NICE) seem nowhere. Contrast with vax policy stark. Anyone know whether/how policy makers are getting evidence/expert advice on optimising testing policy? @ScienceShared @TAH_Sci @i_petersen

A sensible explanation of the new isolation rules. It’s in our hands…

Vaccines are not eliminating transmission. We haven't found the floor. See attached.
Mandates are not defensible by transmission elimination arguments.
Mandates are not required to target high risk groups.
Mandates erode trust.

And once again, quant twitter has to explain that 35% of vaccinated among the admissions in the UK is great news as it mean >90% vaccine effectiveness
I have a sense that such explanations will be on repeat the whole summer ...

I realise I am wading into a divisive topic, so will reiterate my *personal* position on kids & vaccines:
•kids 0-11 not enough data - unlikely to be worth it
•kids 12-17 we have data but need to work out safest dose, type & dosing interval - at which time I say we should start

Did you hear vaccinated people are just as infectious as unvaccinated with Delta?
This study from Singapore shows not only do vaccines stop you getting sick with Delta, but also clear your viral load MUCH faster
Vaccines make you less infectious 💥

More good news next
Double vaccination halves the risk of prolonged symptoms after #COVID19 (as well as substantially reducing risk of getting infected)
Heavens to Betsy I love vaccines 😍💉
