It's just ME on the Causes or Cures Podcast: The COVID-19 vaccine booster battle: A public health perspective. Hope you listen and subscribe. Thanks- Dr. Eeks (Views are my own and not reflective of anyone I work for.) https://www.buzzsprout.com/265442/9211717
The vaccine booster fight really kicks off tomorrow! I will talk about this in more detail on my Causes or Cures podcast...the uncut version! Will post that tomorrow AM :) https://youtu.be/JEoOmyhpN7s
You tell me: Is this policy informing science or science informing policy?? I will post an uncut version of this with more detail on my Causes or Cures podcast tonight. . . . #scicomms #publichealth #sciencematters #mandates #healthpodcast #health
Nipah is a vaccine candidate. The virus hangs out in "flying foxes" or fruit bats, but if it jumps to pigs or humans, it causes disease. Takehome point: Preventing pandemics has a lot to do with how we interact w/our environment & fellow creatures. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/experts-nipah-virus-potential-another-010041031.html
WTF is going on... How many rounds of boosters are they gonna need? https://www.newsweek.com/israel-world-leader-vaccine-booster-shots-hit-surge-covid-cases-1629310

Science should inform policy. Policy shouldn't inform science. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02046-8/fulltext
It sure is an interesting time to be alive! I live in NYC (for now) and our fearless mayor mandated vaccine passports to gain entry into bars, restaurants, gyms, theatres.There is no other option allowed, meaning no proof of immunity & no option to take a test, say for folks who can't get vaccinated. Just the vaccine. . . Now, is this following the science? No, it's not. . . I follow the data closely & recent studies out of Israel ( for example, A. Israel et al & Gazit et al) both show that natural immunity produces a robust immune response. For example, the Gazit study showed that the vaccinated had a 13-fold increased risk of a breakthrough infection compared to those who recovered & also had an increased risk of hospitalization, compared to those who recovered. That's natural immunity, folks, and that's great news. I also interviewed Dr. Israel about his study, which compared antibody titer decay between Vaccinated & Recovered , which you can watch on the TrialSite News Podcast on YouTube. ( I will dive into all this in an upcoming video) Personally, I am disappointed that my city is enforcing vaccine passports ( for a lot of reasons) & also that it's blatantly NOT following the science by failing to recognize natural immunity. If you look at requirements for schools etc. most require proof of immunity, not vaccination. (That said, and let me be clear: Unvaccinated & Not Recovered have highest risk of getting sick overall.) . . I also believe that by completely ignoring natural immunity and the latest data on it, we are only fueling distrust in a public health system that is already on life support. Sit with that for a second... & imagine what will happen when the next pandemic comes around. . . But either way, and one for the history books, I am seeing more private establishments put up these signs on their doors. The city plans to fine people who don't comply, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. Collectivism vs Individual Freedom? Fights? Violence? War? Stay tuned, America. 🔥
This is a big deal and I'll be watching closely over the next 2 weeks how this plays out: https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/571954-departing-fda-leaders-join-other-experts-in-arguing-against-covid-booster?amp
Has anyone else noticed that there are two mainstream public health messages that contradict each other? 1) The vaccines are working & 99% of hospitalized COVID patients are Unvaccinated 2) We need mandates to protect the Vaccinated from the Unvaccinated
I often say the most important wellness tool is a pen and paper: Whether it's to map out or keep track of your health routine, become more self aware, challenge your thoughts, check your reality, find your true self, organize your brain, write down something wise you heard or an idea you want to explore, workout your imagination...and it's the greatest wellness tool till your dog eats it. 🤷♀️ . . . #barnabynyc #barnabynyc #holisticwellness #holistichealth #penandpaper #journaling #mindbodyspirit #healthylifestyle #healthymind #mindbody
Folks tweeting lists of vaccine-preventable diseases, for which vaccines are required for kids to attend school, as justification for blanket COVID-19 vaccine mandates that may include boosters (or not?) is not a very scientific approach.
I want to know if mandates include booster mandates or just the "original?" Even in STAT news, read what they know & don't know about boosters & risk of myocarditis/ pericarditis and clotting. https://www.statnews.com/2021/09/07/how-risk-side-effects-could-change-covid-19-vaccine-boosters/
The UK's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) update on kids ages 12-15 and COVID vaccines: "Children aged 12 to 15 years old with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk of severe COVID-19 should be offered COVID-19 vaccination. The range of underlying health conditions that apply has recently been expanded. For otherwise healthy 12 to 15 year old children, their risk of severe COVID-19 disease is small and therefore the potential for benefit from COVID-19 vaccination is also small. The JCVI’s view is that overall, the health benefits from COVID-19 vaccination to healthy children aged 12 to 15 years are marginally greater than the potential harms. The margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal vaccination of healthy 12 to 15 year olds at this time." https://www.gov.uk/government/news/jcvi-issues-updated-advice-on-covid-19-vaccination-of-children-aged-12-to-15
