In 2007, antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent VGS IE was scaled back.
“There was no convincing evidence that VGS IE frequency, morbidity, or mortality has increased since 2007.”

Because if governments can show its people that it's taking #COVID19 seriously by focusing on outdoor masking while ignoring the living and working conditions driving so many infections, we'll get nowhere.#endpandemictheatre

After analyzing responses from the #COVID19 Symptom Survey, @JustinLessler et al. find support for the idea that in-person schooling increases COVID-19 risk to household members; but also evidence that common mitigation measures can reduce this risk. https://t.co/DFtCoN0FEE pic.twitter.com/gxt7nkhdMb

Fantasy commentary letter in Lancet (not a peer reviewed study)!
It's an unreasonable proposition for most countries like the UK to achieve elimination + constraints of reality negates claimed economic and liberty benefits if attempted…
