Life is stranger than fiction—this famous 1 minute @ZelenskyyUa TV scene launched his fictional career as President—which then launched his real life as President of Ukraine🇺🇦—which gave us the anti-Putin hero the world🌎 needed right now! HT @therecount

Yes, oversimplified narratives can be dangerous. While we see lower risk of hospitalisation compared to Delta, to suggest that Omicron is “just a mild” disease is dangerous. Case # are astounding… even with lower risk, we will see hospitals overwhelmed. Please be careful.

Love this tweet @S_Evangelina. Recently came up when I interviewed @ProfDrAMarty re: problem with the #HerdImmunity theory we sometimes hear people talk about in #Florida: “the only way we got polio under control was when we developed safe and effective vaccines.” #SoundOn ▶️ – at Miami, FL
I wonder if people understand why they don’t have polio 🤔
People will not get full protective effect of these vaccines until a period of time after the 2nd dose has been administered - infections reported in the early days after first inoculation are not a surprise. Immune system needs 2 doses & time nytimes.com/live/2020/12/31/…

“The governor seems to be following this concept of allowing the virus to spread in the community, on purpose almost,” @MayorDanGelber said in a recent interview. We asked @ProfDrAMarty about “herd immunity” 👇 You will want to hear this ▶️. local10.com/news/local/2020/… #COVID19 #FL – at Miami, FL
SOUND ON: A bit more from my conversation with @ProfDrAMarty today.👇When it comes to a gradual #reopening approach- she stresses the importance of #personalresponsibility. @MayorGimenez has stated that when they gradually rollout a phased #reopening - key will be #enforcement. – at Miami, FL

Our latest: We were curious to see how far the US could cut emissions if it adopted just a handful of the most ambitious policies that are already in place around the world. So @EnergyInnovLLC helped us explore, using their energy policy model: nytimes.com/interactive/2019… /1

A bad flu season in Australia has health experts urging Americans to get their flu shots now. Studies presented at #IDWeek2019 support the push, claiming the vaccine reduces illness severity by over 1/3 & hospitalization of children by 50%. on.wsj.com/2ptUtrL #WhyIVaccinate
