Had a great time chatting w/ @EricNewcomer @cityofthetown & @ktbenner. Come for the story about car elevators & the f-bombs, but stick around for a fun conversation about media, "direct channels" & a bunch of stuff in between. twitter.com/DeadCatShow/st…

It’s well documented that both cell-intrinsic & cell-extrinsic factors regulate memory T cell differentiation. Teaching CAR-T cells’ immunity by some mechanism has been a wild dream. Great to see that the co-deployment of peptide antigens increased CAR-Ts efficacy. twitter.com/CellCellPress/…

Oregon is restoring a statewide outdoor mask mandate for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. People will now be required to use face coverings indoors or out starting on Friday, Gov. Kate Brown announced. nyti.ms/3mwdEge
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Let’s talk: anti-depressant Fluvoxamine may help with COVID. New paper out. Here’s why you should get vaccinated, should maybe consider FLV if you’re high risk, why you should STILL GET VACCINATED, and why it’s important to read the paper and not just the infographic: 🧵�Tv
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola The coronavirus infects brain cells and by cell-fusion turns healthy cells into virus-making factories. Then it causes the host cell to die. Everyone should get vaccinated today & avoid getting infected at all costs
If you watch @CBSThisMorning you may know @vladduthiersCBS but this story in @Variety tells who Vlad is. This is why he is one of the best journalists on TV. variety.com/2021/tv/news/v…
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Thread. Be careful, people. And this is why everyone needs to #MaskUp until community prevalence is very low.
Also this thread confirms why it’s probably the worst time ever to be planning a #wedding. #DeltaVariant twitter.com/drmeowza/statu…
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola "We have to be humble about what we do know and what we don't know," said Tom Frieden, former CDC director.
I vote for tracking outpatient breakthrough cases & being less humble.
Without data, it's the Wild West.

Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Perpetrators can be great colleagues and mentors to some, while also sexually harassing other trainees. Both of these things can co-exist and it does not lessen the severity or the impact of the harassment. No amount of scientific success or track record makes up for it.

Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola I don’t know about this narrative. The WH has been consistent in saying getting vaccinated is the way out of the pandemic. That has been the goal and the focus throughout, even when variants and variables emerged. + The tone has been an effective mix of realistic and optimistic. twitter.com/annielinskey/s…
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola It's time for 🏥healthcare to fully vaccinate to protect our patients as we see Delta variant ravaging our communities.
📝Healthcare workers, read & then sign the statement below ⬇️ in support of vaccination fo#patientsafetyty.#VaccinesProtectPatientstsites.google.com/view/vaccinesp…zKB
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Remember that many people you encounter right now are also living through the hardest years of their lives. Extend them extraordinary, even absurd, amounts of #kindness & patience. They may feel better. You will definitely feel better. Try it. You’ll see. #LoveMore #pandemic

Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Wondering who is considered #immunocompromised in the eyes of #CDC #ACIP following yesterday’s #FDA authorization of a 3rd dose of Pfizer or Moderna #COVID19 #vaccine for this group?
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Hard to predict with little data. Investigators too must consider that not only a robust neutralizing antibody response is needed but also T cell responses to the SARS-CoV2 infection to provide a more sustained protection. cc @tcellsrus twitter.com/alexander_tin/…

Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Vaccines are our way out of this pandemic. They're how we can live our lives together, safely.
San Francisco will be requiring proof of vaccination for patrons and employees in a number of indoor settings, including bars, restaurants, gyms, and large events.
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Today I joined @CBSNews to discuss vaccine booster shots and the new CDC guidance. I also shared with @AMGreenCBS & @vladduthiersCBS that while America struggles with misinformation, people are begging for access around the world. #GetVaccinated #MaskUp

nobody likes needles in their arms
nobody likes covid
just stop screaming, calm down, be a grown-up and do what's required to put the pandemic behind us
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Excited for everyone to finally see my PhD work on CD8 T cell activation in cancer. @HaydnKissick and I would love comments and suggestions while it is under review. Most constructive feedback gets a prize 🍺�papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…k2

Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola 18 months into the 1st coronavirus pandemic ever to be documented, we often forget how hard it is to bear the burden of major decisions. Yes, we need data transparency on overall prevalence of breakthroughs, but amidst so many unknowns, in my book, @CDCDirector has done well.
If you're a healthcare organization — or hell, even doctor's, dentist's, or physical therapist's office — and not mandating vaccination, you're not providing the standard of care at this point. twitter.com/AmericaDialogu…

Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola I can't begin to capture the level of dispirit & exhaustion among pandemic response experts right now: we are on track with some worst case scenario models for the coming months (poss. going above Jan hospitalization peaks) as leaders unwind basic public health measures.
e.g:
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola There needs to be truth-telling about the reduced protection of mRNA vaccines vs symptomatic Delta infections.
It was 95% pre-Delta.
Many are claiming it's still ~80%.
It isn't.
50-60% is best estimate from all sources (not US, since we don't have the data)
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola PSA: Studies conducted prior to delta mostly demonstrate immune protection against alpha, NOT Delta.
The biggest objection seems to be that the piece says breakthrough is uncommon, and thus the risk of long COVID is reduced.
How can we know if breakthrough infections are uncommon if the CDC isn't tracking the ones that don't result in hospitalization?
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Breakthrough infections are uncommon. However, you can get #longcovid from breakthrough infection. We don’t know how frequently long covid develops in fully vax people because CDC is not collecting such data. It is dangerous to get breakthrough infections. Please #vaxandmask
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola We’ve allowed a tyranny of the political minority to hold back sound decision-making that 2/3 of the country supports for too many years. Climate action. Background checks. Vaccine mandates. Leaders at all levels shouldn’t be afraid of strong action. twitter.com/michaelkruse/s…
Retweeted by Dr. Leo Nissola Humanity will literally become a multiplanetary species before the FDA approves the COVID vaccines.
Hospitalizations & deaths are NOT the only important consequences of Covid
#Longcovid can be severely debilitating and can occur even in healthy individuals with mild Covid
