This is fantastic 👏👏👏👏
Over 300 NIH workers have signed a letter to Bhattacharya (the guy who pushed for mass infection during the COVID pandemic) asking him to stop destroying U.S. science & health care
The public can add their name in support (I did that) here:

ID gurus - what are your thoughts on the optimal tx for S. pneumo meningitis that is pansensitive?
ESCMID guidelines: PCN or amp/amox
IDSA guidelines: PCN
NICE guidelines: Ceftriaxone
PCN: lower risk of CDiff, antimicrobial stewardship rizz
Ceftriaxone: fewer infusions, pt already on this

Wow will look into this and discuss!
Flat dosing of pyrazinamide at 1000mg achieved a higher proportion of participants within the therapeutic window compared with weight-banded dosing and flat dosing at 1500mg
Has anyone already switched to flat dosing of pyrazinamide at 1000mg/day for TB?
