    • When I worked at DC Children’s Hospital for my Peds ICU rotation, I was shocked by the number of babies admitted with breathing problems from RSV. Overwhelmingly children of color. So yeah, an RSV vaccine is a big deal 👏🏾 https://t.co/kuVO1wsFux

    • This is a really nice analogy from @dr_kkjetelina and @cmyeaton comparing where we are with the Public Health Emergency ending with a patient's experience with the healthcare.

    • TBH, this is too little too late and feels more performative than useful. What we need now: - Higher boosting: only 15% (15!) of eligible Americans received the updated booster - 😷 in high risk settings - Better Paxlovid use in high risk folks https://t.co/EsuX18B1ZE

    • At this point, arguing that masks don’t do anything approaches flat earth statements. The real conversation to have is around the trade offs. They aren’t perfect. Ventilation, paid time off, testing, etc are all very important this winter. https://t.co/1TF8RCaR8o
