It is somewhat insulting, frankly that many members of the public believe they can bypass all the intensive technical training and be as skilled as those experts, simply by reading some stuff online. More importantly it is FALSE. Doing a Google search is not doing research. /6

@JesseBlackAllen You’re using opinion pieces that this guy wrote himself. That’s not evidence, or fundamental immunology.

Moderna will submit data of their #COVID19 #vaccine trial for kids 6 months - 5 years to the FDA for EUA. ⚕️ The dosage induced immune responses equivalent w/ those of young adults pre-Omicron. ⚕️ There were no cases of serious illness or hospitalization.

Re: headlines re Pfizer vaccine and ischemic stroke. NO data have revealed clinically significant risk. NORMAL scientific & surveillance processes are being taken out of context & reported to public - eroding trust in vaccines (& science) BEFORE having evidence of risk. #scicomm

There’s a confusing belief shared by some that scientists should only be in academia & if they choose an alternative career, they are ‘selling out’ or ‘corrupt’ & can’t be trusted. In reality, science informs everything in our lives & scientists are needed in EVERY SINGLE CAREER.

This year’s flu season is ROUGH! it came early & is hitting HARD. Protect yourself from getting super sick from the flu by getting your flu shot today (or the nasal spray vaccine if you don’t like needles & are eligible). If you’ve ever had the flu, you know how awful it can be!

If you've listened/seen our posts over the past couple of years, you've probably noticed a trend of us addressing/debunking the notion that "natural" is inherently better. It is not. Many 'natural' substances can kill us, even at low doses. Let's discuss:

Don’t be fooled: PubMed doesn’t guarantee good science! Many people turn to PubMed for scientific information, but being listed there doesn’t guarantee a paper’s quality. Think of PubMed as the Google of life sciences research. Let's discuss. 🧵

Going onto PubMed & cherry-picking 1-2 papers that support your opinion is not doing research. Sharing memes on social media is not doing research. Reading content that is curated on a website – even a credible one (like ours) – is not doing research. /7

Just like most scientists would never claim to be experts in areas outside their scope – architecture, waste management, information technology, construction – why do non-scientists feel that this does not apply to them when it comes to science? /8

The currently circulated claims online accusing Pfizer of lying to the public based on a video from 2020 are extremely overstated/inaccurate. They did not lie. Goals of the COVID-19 vaccine were always to prevent severe illness, hospitalization & death.

It’s that time of year when you might be seeing ads for supplements claiming to help boost your immune system. Your immune system is not a muscle you can flex & no, you cannot “boost it” by taking supplements. We have the details WITH SOURCES here:

Recent WHO guidance has been mistakenly taken by some to mean that they recommend that children NOT receive the COVID-19 vaccine but that is not accurate. They simply put the onus on individual countries to make recommendations based on their particular circumstances/resources.

Since the authorization of the COVID-19 vaccines, mRNA has come under scrutiny. Let’s be clear: mRNA is a molecule that literally every single living organism has and requires for life. Bacteria, algae, fungi, plants, insects, animals, & YES, even humans.
