It was inspiring to see @DembyAustin lead by example as he received the 1st jab of the new Mpox vaccine. Officially launched today, the 61,300 doses received by S/Leone can now be rolled out to frontline health workers & people in high-risk communities from age 12 & above.
Next up in our IDD Seminar Series is a talk from @KayokoShioda entitled, "Advanced epidemiological methods to inform infectious disease policies". Join us in person or on zoom next Thursday (3/30) to hear about this exciting work! (DM for Zoom link)
After a week at #Tropmed22 surrounded by brilliant and creative scientists. Thank you @ASTMH!
Juan Dent Hulse and @espoir_bwenge discussing potential biases of different surveillance strategies with rapid diagnostic testing of cholera. Is it better to test the first 3 cases per week? First 3 cases per day? Stop by LB-5394 to learn more #Tropmed22 @ASTMH
Building public confidence in vaccines is important before, during, and after outbreaks. Always, all the time! Come chat with @Aybuke_Koyuncu4 about confidence in oral cholera vaccines in DRC at poster LB-5485 and she’ll make sure you know why. @ASTMH #Tropmed22
Come chat with Hanmeng at the poster session today about the performance of diagnostic tests for Vibrio cholerae in DRC! @ASTMH #TropMed22
CLOSING SOON: Postdoc (Baltimore, University) Global cholera dynamics with @andrewazman @JustinLessler @Ymax at @JHIDDynamics @JohnsHopkins More details: iddjobs.org/jobs/dept-of-e…
Our study on seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG in Juba, South Sudan is out now in @CDC_EIDjournal: wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27…. Thank you @WHOSouthSudan @MoHsouthsudan @andrewazman @j_wamala @ForrestKJones @JustinLessler @JHIDDynamics @mgh_id
The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.
I agree. This is ridiculous. Dear @ElsevierConnect - how could this have been "an inadvertent mistake"? This should NOT have been a correction. This paper with this highly altered image should - according to @C0PE rules - have been retracted.

Outdoor activities are largely safe. Schools can stay open with precautions. Delivery, curbside pickup, and safer shopping are possible. Let's work smarter against Covid. Closures need to be nuanced, well-timed, and adjusted based on experience. But the sooner, the safer.
A direct quote from this horrifying report: "80% of people who died in jails from COVID were not convicted of a crime."

Today, I present to you The Paper With More References Than Words. It has 182 words and 212 references. All references are from the first author. Who works at a university that does not appear to exist.
@JohnsHopkins This year's best couples costume: a mask and six feet of distance. 🎃
Wear a mask. It saves lives.
With #DefundNPR trending, AGAIN, I would just like to remind people that NPR receives less than 5% of its funding from the federal government, so defunding it would do... basically nothing. Have a nice day.
