Our vaccine centre running at a trickle today. It will be the last day we will operate now for at least 10 days. @AstraZeneca @pfizer @NHSEngland - we are waiting.....

Another unambiguous result from #RECOVERY, disappointing did not improve outcome for patients, but critical to provide such clear data. Thank you to every patient, every health care worker, @NHSuk @NIHRresearch & RECOVERY Team @PeterHorby @MartinLandray

Things are very concerning with the pandemic
Not just vaccine distribution but outbreak itself
It's bad
Yesterday we had more than 4,000 deaths from COVID19
Highest single day ever
But story is worse when you look at cases, hospitalizations
And thus, urgency to act

Game change. This is a great day for patients as Pfizer (where I serve on the BoD) announces final top line results from the phase 3 trial with its Covid-19 vaccine. We should now have two vaccines that could effectively end the U.S. epidemic next year if everything goes right.
BREAKING: We are proud to announce, along with @BioNTech_Group, that the Phase 3 study of our #COVID19 vaccine candidate has met all primary efficacy endpoints.

President Trump, advisor @SWAtlasHoover arguing there's lot of false coding of COVID
This is junk news
Like junk food, junk news tastes good but has no nutritional value
So what are the facts?
Don't hospitals get more $ for COVID?

1/ Do doctors and hospitals need to have "skin in the game" in value-based contracts?
My unpopular opinion- yes.
But the game needs to be fair

We spent a lot of time talking about collecting health data, assuming that's the goal.
But the bigger question should be: Once we have it, what shall we do with it?
