Our updated study, with longer follow-up, on effectiveness of the #influenzavaccine still fails to find the vaccine to be effective in protecting against #influenza this year. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
The #influenzavaccine varies in its effectiveness from season to season. This prospective study has been unable to find the vaccine to be effective thus far this respiratory season, in protecting against #influenza. doi.org/10.1101/2025.01.30.2…
Our study on the effectiveness of the latest #COVID #vaccine is now available online for those who may be interested. doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciae132

As defined by current CDC criteria, those who have not received a single dose of the bivalent vaccine are considered to not be up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccination. This study calls into question the validity of this classification. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Important questions about duration of immunity after COVID-19 infection/vaccination, and timing and number of vaccine doses needed for those previously infected, are examined in this study.

Prior infection provided as much protection as vaccination against COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and death, in this nationwide study from Israel, medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…, supporting the idea that vaccination is not needed until natural immunity wanes. #covidvaccine
People who’ve had COVID-19 don’t need the vaccine. See findings of study done @ClevelandClinic: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. Let’s prioritize these amazing vaccines accordingly. Don’t waste precious resources vaccinating those who don’t need to be vaccinated. #covidvaccine #covax.
I recommend this book highly for anyone who wants to learn R. This is the best I’ve come across on the topic. Will give you the competency to do decent data analyses and position you very well to learn more specialized topics.
And R for Data Science also gets the new bs4_book treatment: r4ds.had.co.nz #rstats
Google and Apple have teamed up to create an important and powerful public health tool. Apps based on this still need to be developed before its potential is realized. #publichealth computerworld.com/article/35…
