Small study of health care workers suggests possibility that there may be increased protection from #LongCovid with increased doses of vaccine ja.ma/3ul2jCZ @JAMANetworkOpen
@EricTopol @JAMANetworkOpen So much flaws.. different waves have different test rates.. that alone can explain the findings
@EricTopol @JAMANetworkOpen Allergies ftw. Better to have an overactive than under active immune system!
@EricTopol @JAMANetworkOpen Problematically anyone under 50 still isn’t allowed a 2nd booster and we don’t have enough boosters preordered for the fall
@EricTopol @JAMANetworkOpen For those commenting on the small sample size, time from vax & other limiting variables: this is a start. Results are promising, so replicate. That's how science works.
@EricTopol @JAMANetworkOpen Did they account for time since the last dose? We know protection wanes over time against overall infection.
@EricTopol @JAMANetworkOpen More reason to authorize second boosters for all
@EricTopol @haussamen @JAMANetworkOpen I sure hope so!
@EricTopol @JAMANetworkOpen In order to really analyze it seems they should compare within the waves. Correlation between later waves and more vaccine doses in the background is too strong to ignore.
@EricTopol @JAMANetworkOpen What about the long term affects of reverse imprint of the spike protein in (gut, liver, kidneys) healthy non infected vaccinated people? No body seems to want to talk about it.
