      11. One of the central characteristics of ACIP meetings is that they are public. The committee doesn't just crunch data & debate decisions, it shows its work. Some of the presentations are about showing how the investigation has been conducted.

      12. Interesting factoid: Women aged 18-29 make up the largest group of people who've been infected with Covid since the beginning of March. From a presentation by @cdcgov's Sara Oliver.

      13. Oliver tells ACIP members: You'll need to think about the population level risk-benefit analysis & the individual level risk-benefit analysis Therein lies the rub.

      16. (Broke my thread. Repeating to fix.) What is ACIP going to recommend today? Here are the options presented to them, from ACIP's Covid vaccine work group. Almost certainly going to be one of these. No debate yet, so can't say how the committee is leaning. But watch #4.pic.twitter.com/ICv95nvm1b

      17. It's still early in the discussion period but so far support seems to be coalescing around option #4.

      18. @DocJeffD raises an important point: The risk-benefit analyses are based on current levels of risk. But as more people get vaccinated, the risk will drop, changing the equation. @CDCgov staff said they will continue to update the model.

      19. Beth Bell, chair of ACIP's Covid vaccine work group, stressed that the decision taken today is to come up with a policy for now, not for always. (This gets to @DocJeffD's comment about the risk-benefit ratio changing when Covid transmission is lower in the US.)

      20. Listening to ACIP's deep dive into risks & benefits of the J&J vaccine reminds one of how amazing the US advisory committee system for HHS agencies is. VRBPAC (FDA) & ACIP (CDC) kick tires in public. This is unique and very valuable.

      I was thinking this must be like therapy for @kakape after the EMA pressers.

          It's wonderful. My husband doesn't listen to the meetings, and assumes "the fix is in" beforehand. I have to always tell him there is almost always real (and respectful) discussion, disagreement, and mind-changing. (Some types of expertise missing though...)
