There are certain irrefutable verities when, like me, you’re an infectious diseases specialist married to a pediatrician. Here are our top two, which are deeply interrelated: Infectious deaths in children, or severe illnesses that lead to lifelong disability, are more devastating than similar events in adults.

Mashup Score: 50How ID Doctors Get Paid, Part 2: Infection Control and Other Invaluable (but Often Invisible) Work - 16 day(s) ago
Before getting to today’s main topic, allow me a brief protest — three recent vaccine-related actions that reek of profound (and misguided) vaccine distrust from HHS leadership. They are: Cancellation of a grant to develop an H5N1 vaccine. Preparation for this looming pandemic threat is critical, and there’s arguably no better way than having a vaccine ready. […]

In case you missed it, last week the FDA granted full approval for the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine, which uses a more traditional protein-plus-adjuvant strategy instead of the mRNA approach of Pfizer and Moderna, is no longer in “Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)” limbo. Here’s what that means in practical terms: It shows the data the company […]

Mashup Score: 155How ID Doctors Get Paid -- The Bread, Butter, and Budget Deficits of Infectious Diseases - 1 month(s) ago
Two decades ago, Dr. Atul Gawande wrote a memorable piece for The New Yorker about how doctors in the United States get paid.
