This will presumably mean everyone gets boosters early next year. That’s great, because they do work. Except it’s likely to be boosters for rich countries at the expense of primary vaccination for poorer countries. You won’t stop the pandemic when half the world is unvaccinated https://t.co/F31DMSI2zf

.@WHO estimates 115,000 health workers have died from #Covid19. Huge, tragic loss.
And while some health workers in the US are QUITTING jobs because they don't want to be vaccinated, many HCWs around the world are still waiting for vaccine. Unconscionable. https://t.co/z4u9XSX2Wj— Helen Branswell (@HelenBranswell) October 21, 2021

Is the critical appraisal of individual studies a core skill for clinicians? @KariTikkinen and @EBCPMcMaster argue that there are more important things for them to learn in order to apply #EBM in real life.
A thought-provoking piece in @BMJ_EBM 👌https://t.co/f6KvsRpHOw pic.twitter.com/FOf5ywT1bf
