    In this @roznewz piece I'm quoted about #COVID19 vaccines and their ability to decrease transmission in addition to preventing symptomatic infection. I think they will be shown to do this but it may take time for public health guidance to change https://t.co/lLCAxAfsWX

    In this @mfrellick @medscape piece I'm quoted about the use of ivermectin for #COVID19. I have yet to use it and I agree with the NIH that there's no evidence for its use or against its use. We need better studies https://t.co/axvSS80vXf

    Controversy Flares Over Ivermectin for COVID-19

    The NIH now says it can't recommend for or against the antiparasitic drug to treat COVID-19. Physicians and patients are left to weigh the evidence, with substantial debate.

    In this @namesjules piece I'm quoted about a small 6 person cluster of allergic reactions to the Moderna #COVID19 vaccine. I think this is manageable and doesn't warrant pausing of an entire lot of the vaccine in the midst of a pandemic https://t.co/vRzxs0RG4r

    "100 million shots in 100 days" works fine as a slogan, but herd immunity sometime in 2021 will likely require an even quicker pace.
