My immediate thought to the "only the old died" conspiracy theory is always just look at what the deaths rates of the young did in low vaccination countries (for countries where death rates by age are actually available rather than imagined) at the exact times of covid waves

One of the most frustrating aspects of healthcare is seeing patients who don't realize they deserve better care.

Beyond the inverse care law, we face an inverse expectation law too—those who need the most often expect the least.

RFK Jr. says he’s fighting toxins. But he’s teaming up with Trump to dismantle the very protections that keep poisons out of our bodies. The MAHA movement isn’t saving lives; it’s destroying them.

🧵As healthcare professionals we spend years mastering medicine but receive almost zero training in leadership & management. This creates a critical gap in healthcare where those who understand patients best lack the skills to drive systemic change.

Dr. Paul Offit from last week's Roundtable on Vaccines:

"The problem is not only that we've largely eliminated these diseases...we've eliminated the memory of these diseases. Parents are now more scared of the safety of vaccines, real or imagined, then the diseases they prevent."

Such a great story and testament to the dedication of individuals and how 1080 is such a vital tool.🌏

Currently there is no vaccine for this highly contagious stomach bug. This sees Moderna's potential norovirus mRNA vaccine enters Phase 3. The shot could protect seniors & high-risk groups, with results expected by late 2025!

Hopefully next is trials for kids who are particularly vulnerable.

Your vaccination also protects the lives of babies under 1 who cannot be fully immunized. 10% of adults in NZ’s outbreak vs 2/3 of babies have had to be hospitalized.

Pertussis can make small children stop breathing and even a “mild” case in an adult can mean months of coughing so severe ribs break
