"This narrative that it's just a mild virus is not accurate," says Dr. Peter Hotez, co-director for Vaccine Development at Texas Children's Hospital, on the surge in Covid-19 hospitalizations at the largest US pediatric hospital.
@TheLeadCNN There have been over 427,000 COVID-19 deaths since Jan 20, 2021. The United States passed 400,000 deaths on Jan 20 2021 according to John Hopkins data. By Jan 3 2022, the number of COVID-19 deaths reached 827,726 according to Johns Hopkins.
@TheLeadCNN Doctors and parents who so choose need access to #offlabelU5 vaccine NOW for <5s @CDCDirector
@TheLeadCNN Thank you @PeterHotez for your work. Would you have an actual # or % for the incidental COVID findings?
@TheLeadCNN Hires’ failure to address his posting photos of several large crowded indoor parties he attended just a few weeks ago, no masks in sight, is sending mixed messages. I’m pro vac and pro mask but this is confusing.
@TheLeadCNN Thank you Dr. Hotez. People need to hear more about Long Covid and acknowledge we should be trying to prevent it just as much as hospitalization.
@TheLeadCNN @jaketapper Higher chance of a child drowning than dying of Covid
@TheLeadCNN That wee doctor man scares the life out of me…
