I'm launching a newsletter, called
@insight. I want to try to create a space for thinking deeply about complex, thorny but important puzzles, along with a community. Something between public writing and social media: some of both but neither. Sign up here:https://zeynep.substack.com/p/welcome-to-insight …Show this threadThanks.

This can’t be a debate. There’s no on the other hand here. Ethically *and* pragmatically, this is as clear cut as it gets. Seems somebody’s arguing this will encourage more immigration. That’s yet another example of distorted, convoluted thinking that made them hold back tests.https://twitter.com/theleadcnn/status/1484677331042152448 …

Yes! The immune system training from the vaccine is natural, without the risks of the infection. Without it, the immune system ends up having to fight without prior practice. Usually it’s fine. Sometimes, you get knocked out! Why give the virus an upper hand? No virtue to that.https://twitter.com/sm_kali1/status/1484506851614019594 …

Should be obvious, but people in rich nations are NOT getting this simple fact: "It’s impossible for a single country to end the pandemic alone"

Sad. Lots of people have made too much hay out of the fact that natural immunity *does* confer protection, BUT IN THE RISKIEST MANNER POSSIBLE. Contrarianism isn’t critical thinking. There is no need to engage in a fair fight with the virus. It’s not a moral agent.https://twitter.com/syramadad/status/1484333780298911745 …

And it’s remained that way in NYC for vaccinated people. This is updated as of 1/8 so it def includes the Omicron variantpic.twitter.com/Uk4RkPjLwc

Indeed this is a lie. People need to push back on this hard. Vaccination reduces risk of infection. There is more than Omicron out there. Infection VE in the real world is clear. Look at Omicron-hit NYC through 12/25, 4X reduced risk: https://twitter.com/saletan/status/1483659756099284998 …pic.twitter.com/j3BAw1VBK4

“Zeynep’s Law”
@zeynep (Benefits of 1st order affect are almost never eliminated by some possible 2nd order effect you’ve dreamed up) is on my mind this week. Best school system leaders keeping plans simple, clear, fact-based. Don’t be too clever by half. Vax, mask, ventilate.https://twitter.com/ARozenshtein/status/1483827132279058432 …

Personally, I’ve decided to live by
@zeynep’s maxim: Don’t predict, prepare. (Which is different, as those who heard the pod know, from “Zeynep’s Law”!)https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/18/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-zeynep-tufekci.html …Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

Before the pandemic, I could never have imagined that one day I would be engrossed by a conversation about subjects like ventilation and air flow. This
@zeynep interview was riveting and it answered a lot of my questions about the current state of things.https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/18/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-zeynep-tufekci.html …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

"The entire clause that suggested that the WHO should have speedy access to disease outbreak sites has been removed – at the insistence of China" In other words, let's repeat the devastating mistakes made this time round when the next pandemic occurs.https://healthpolicy-watch.news/report-on-pandemic-response-is-slashed-ahead-of-who-board-meeting/ …

Yes! My apologies. The data is even stronger than what I said in the original tweet. Vaccines were shown to be extraordinarily protective against multisystem inflammatory syndrome for COVID—not a single fully-vaccinated case in the dataset. https://twitter.com/Irrlicht18/status/1483704230246596608 …pic.twitter.com/LhBU0E5UnG

“The absence of MIS-C cases in fully vaccinated children prevented calculation of an HR for this group.” (HZ: hazard ratio). Given onset time, researcher think the few MIS-C kids with a single dose were infected right before or around getting vaccinated—before immune response.pic.twitter.com/ayOvkkrpe0

Study from France: Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children by COVID-19 Vaccination Status. Their tables have no line for fully-vaccinated children in their. Why? Because there wasn’t a single one among the 33 MIS-C cases in that hospital. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2787495 …pic.twitter.com/6qyTYiMnLZ
