With @WHO's support, @MinofHealthUG has started a vaccine trial against #Ebola Sudan virus today. The trial will enroll contacts of people with the disease, and contacts of the contacts. This vaccination trial was initiated with record speed, only three days since the outbreak was declared, while ensuring full compliance with international and national regulatory and ethical requirements. It is also the first trial to assess the clinical efficacy of a vaccine against Ebola Sudan virus disease. This trial demonstrates the importance of investing in R&D for vaccines and treatments and outbreak response preparedness, as well as partnerships. We thank @Makerere University and @UVRIug for their leadership, as well as @AfricaCDC, @CEPIvaccines, @EC_HERA and @IDRC_CRDI for their collaboration on this lifesaving effort. WHO will continue supporting the government in a comprehensive response to bring the outbreak under control.

The overlap between academics who fretted over the danger of online echo chambers and academics who are leaving X for a platform where they can hear themselves louder is too large
I understand the academic impetus to move to a new platform. But I think it is bad for the commons if all the academics disappear and only talk to each other. We need your good ideas to be shared widely as much we ever did.

In our new Special Communication, we argue that ethics oversight for #pragmatictrials needs to be fit-for-purpose @bermaninstitute @BSPH_HPM
This Special Communication examines the evolution of ethical oversight for clinical research, highlighting the need for a more nuanced approach to IRB review and informed consent. ja.ma/3BPi2AB

New explanation for low vaccine rates: @walgreens having people wait over 30 min past their scheduled appt times to get their shots. As if #publichealth needed more obstacles

The pressure of coming up with a new joke every year was real.
Clark asked about Sides praising her humor & if she has jokes on hand. Said no, but in Des Moines, you have to tell jokes at doors to earn Halloween candy. “I know my Mom’s a stickler about it.” Said she always “dominated trick-or-treat” in speed and amount of candy.

Ok #AcademicTwitter — do we still need to pay a transcription service for qualitative interviews, or is Zoom transcription now accurate enough?
