A few days ago, I shared a link to the public comment page for the #CDC docket item regarding #COVIDBoosters and vaccines; there was also a pretty shoddily-written NPR piece going around, basically saying, "nah, only people over 65 need the shot".

Decisions about the #COVIDVaccines will be made soon; here's a very good explainer by @mattbc ( recommend following them on Patreon--their posts are public--and listening to their calls to action.

#DMastodon MedSky🧪#COVID19vaccines work and #COVIDvaccines saved lives . In this study show that antibody responses to #SARSCoV2 mRNA vaccination follow a classical biphasic decay with a rapid waning phase initially followed by a transition into a stabilization phase after 7-9 months. 🧵by @florian_krammer & @vivianasimonlab

#IDMastodon #CovidVaccines @medrxivpreprint Safety and Immunogenicity of XBB.1.5-Containing #mRNAvaccines : In this interim analysis, XBB. 1.5-containing monovalent & bivalent vaccines elicited potent neutralizing responses against variants of the omicron XBB-lineage (XBB. 1.5, XBB. 1.6, XBB.2.3.2) as well as more recent (EG.5.1, FL. 1.5.1) variants.

Excellent review on BA2.86 and why we "desperately need to pursue a variant-proof vaccine," by @erictopol

At some point, we might want "to use our intelligence and resources to get ahead of this virus..."

Overview & characterizes in-depth the mRNA Vaccine strategies across the spectrum of #immunocompromised individuals, focusing on the ongoing approaches to challenges facing this group as the pandemic continues to evolve. despite low antibody responses, #CovidVaccines can still be beneficial in this population as cellular immunity responses to #covid19vaccination can occur among patients with ♋️

#IDMastodon @cellreports #Cellimmunity #Tcellimmunity of vaccinated individuals against #omicron sub~variants remains largely intact due to the nature of polymorphic cell-mediated immune responses, may continue to contribute to prevention/limitation of severe #COVID19 manifestation. The findings are supportive for the suitability of Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted #CovidVaccines to boost neutralizing activity against some BA.4/BA.5-descendant variants.

@VacSafety @stkirsch This is just too hilarious, as if a poll by a rightward leaning polling company like @Rasmussen_Poll has any validity whatsoever in determining how many people died of #COVID19 compared to #covidvaccines. Seriously, this is super dumb, even by antivax standards.😂

#COVID19 #CovidVaccines #Myocarditis The latest antivax tactic is claiming that COVID myocarditis isn't really a thing. While this isn't quite as bad as
@naomirwolf
wanting to escape to Ireland to get away from the 5G, they are still trying to pull a hall of mirrors trick.
Myocarditis = inflammation of the heart, and it has always been a hard diagnosis to secure due to its patchy involvement of the heart and its ability to look like other stuff.

The Facts about Excess Deaths

a) #CovidVaccines have nothing to do with it
b) Statistics tells us its root cause is most likely #COVID19

@GatekeepKen @biorxivpreprint This is just a preclincal work and it’s still a long way to go The most effective non and pharmacological prevention that work at the moment .
1 . n-95😷 , RAT Test and keep distance to reduce the viral load , beware of your surroundings ( indoor)
2. balance diet , sleep well and outdoor physical activities to improve mental health 
3. Get flu and #CovidVaccines to prevent of dying in hospital or #longcovid
4.Not get COVID at All

RT @PVRTWEETSSS: The Current Viral is Causing Loss Of Voice to many people.
All this Started Happening After The Covid Vaccine sh*t.
Despite being Same Activities:
-Brain Stroke
-Oromandibular Dystonia
-Cardiac Arrest
And viral in 4-6months. All this Increased.

After SBM suffered the unexpected loss of our co-founder Dr. Harriet Hall last week, we were angered and distressed to see antivaxxers saying that she had #DiedSuddenly because of #CovidVaccines. This dangerous narrative is even more painful when it targets a friend. Dr. Gorski tries to get past his initial anger and explain this dangerous conspiracy theory. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/when-antivax-died-suddenly-conspiracy-mongering-vultures-target-a-friend-and-colleague/

Nope – based on what the public health comms & persuasion research literature teaches, this piece is actually good. It's the sort of messaging we need more of, not less."
