Yes, understandably, people are exhausted. The vaccine efficacy continues to bring excellent news, including against these variants. Getting through the winter surge remains ahead of us, as does increasing vaccine production. But things will get better.https://twitter.com/adribbleofink/status/1353824661461639168 …

First tweet in thread, with 4000+ retweets and quote tweets. "Good and bad news." (What bad news? It was all-around excellent news). Finally, 22nd tweet with a clarification. Only 37 retweets and quote tweets. Don't do this people. Also don't get your information this way.pic.twitter.com/9jM4mOveYs

Are folks seeing a lot of these stories? "Warns" of "antibodies waning" despite a zillion scientists explaining that? "We don't know if vaccines curb transmission", with weak qualifiers, as a big deal? Misinterpreting yesterday's good news from Moderna?https://twitter.com/francois20009/status/1354096377505193984 …

François Christophe @francois20009Replying to @zeynep @lisang@zeynep, thanks, and could we also get your take on this FT article? Angst-inducing and perhaps overly-pessimistic, but still sounds rigorous enough to a non-expert like me. Thanks for helping us cut through the noise as always! https://www.ft.com/content/17c44c96-39f2-4ada-badd-d65815b0a521 …6 replies 16 retweets 129 likesShow this thread -
Try this. In the Moderna trial, NOT ONE VACCINATED PERSON GOT SEVERE COVID. In Pfizer, A SINGLE PERSON did, and it was "93% oxygen sat" but did not need hospitalization or any more medical care. That's on top of 95% efficacy in preventing *any* illness. Good place to start from!

Top of thread: "REPLAPSE". Gets ~4000 retweets. Thirteen tweets later... "To be clear." "In mice." WebMD. 15 Retweets. Copy-paste from researcher—and even that's cherry-picked—not contextualization of findings or independent evaluation. No way to present a study or be informed.pic.twitter.com/Ch1RsObcrY

People can't easily tell the difference. "Study in mice affirms the importance of neurological aspects of COVID-19, especially as it pertains to severe disease progression even in the absence of strong respiratory symptoms" doesn't have the same

Not just an issue with him, how many real scientists get stuck at treating a mouse disease that resembles a human disease but only shares symptoms because of a completely different cause? Or assume that what works in mice will also work in monkeys or humans?

yep, also had an issue with his claims. It is like the original study's authors said: cool results in mice, WebMD said: cool results that could explain this finding in people, and then Eric: COVID ZOMBIES!! OMG!!!!!
