“More than 2/3 of the common side-effects people experience after a Covid jab can be attributed to a negative version of the placebo effect rather than the vaccine itself.”

Omicron COVID-19 variant update:
Detected in a lot of countries. But more concerning is that 20 countries have already reported community transmission. And they probably found it because they looked for it.

In September, unvaccinated people were 5.8 times more likely to get Covid and 14 times more likely to die from it, according to CDC. Protect yourself and the people around you—get vaccinated.

Bullshit. New dads can hold and soothe the baby. Change diapers. Give the baby a bath. Do laundry. Clean the house. Go shopping. And yes, even bottle feed. Especially in the middle of the night.
Paternity leave is important for the whole family, equitable, and manly.
These assumptions based on steady rate of vaccination to 80%. Unlikely. Will prob level out once willing people r vaccinated. then begins harder job of engaging “wait & see” & hesitants. W states opening up early, this will be even harder.

How public health works.
Worth rereading how potentially imperfect vaccines can be combined in an integrated way with advice, behaviour, testing, mosquito control & therapeutics. Learning how to combine good but imperfect tools is so often critical for public health malariajournal.biomedcentral…

Need some inspiration to get vaccinated - how cool is this? One of my running buddies who works on her weekends as a COVID vaccinator mapped this out! You rock Genie and thanks for all that you do! 👏👏👏
People may share conspiracy theories to be liked. Critical thinking skills or media literacy won’t be enough to inoculate some people against #disinformation. Excellent study highlights importance of social insights along with behavioral insights to manage #infodemic
