technical difficulties, b/c what would a webinar be w/o technical difficulties...
The #CovidUnknowns Vaccination in Children webinar is now on YouTube, so it's time to link up my live-tweets to video presentations.
Starting with @ParsnipsParsons on the rights of the child.

Followed by @russellviner on the keys issues in childhood vaccination for Covid-19.
"60-70% of children have asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection."
"Delta appears to be more severe in adults, but if anything it seems less severe in children."

Covid-19 & Children by @ShamezLadhani
Part 1 - Infection:
"Seroprevalence studies in children show them being infected as much as adults, but more asymptomatic, producing higher levels of antibodies than adults that persist for longer."

Der neueste Artikel im @derspiegel erinnert an eine Märchenstunde und ist alles andere als ein wissenschaftlich gut recherchierter Artikel.
Voller Strohmann-Argumenten, Gaslightning und falscher Fährten.
Aber Schritt für Schritt - ein Debunk der Gruselgeschichte. 🧵

Allein der Titel 🤯
„Corona-Mutante in Kitas und Schulen“
Ach, was? Und sonst so? Sonst nirgends?
„Kinder werden zur Gefahr für ihre Eltern“
Haben neuerdings Kinder tödliche Waffen zur Hand und wollen ihre Eltern loswerden aufgrund totaler Pandemieverzweifelung??

Eröffnet wird der Artikel mit einem Strohmann-Argument.
Viele Menschen hätten lange Zeit gedacht, Kinder wären magische Wesen (Einhörner vielleicht??), die sich nicht infizieren oder den Virus weitergeben.
Als ob das je jemand dachte... 🙄

How #Covid19 #vaccination rollout will change #TestAndTrace, and worsen inequalities in #transmission and outcomes? Let's act now.

1/3 Once >50s and clinically vulnerable people have had #Covid19 #vaccine, the tradeoff of benefits and #harms for #TestAndTrace and #asymptomatic testing in particular changes rapidly. My take at @bmj_latest #CovidUnknowns seminar yesterday
2/3 Big issue - when #hospitalisation #deaths low and the vulnerable protected, why would we ask #children #parents #essentialworkers and other non-Zoomocrats to #SelfIsolate, #test over and over to leave home? Listen to @bmj_latest #Covidunknowns webinar
3/3 Will we really ask the groups already most affected by #economic and #mentalhealth impact of #Covid19 to #SelfIsolate indefinitely when life opens up for others?
Some locations in Tier 3 had evidence of rising epidemics before November lockdown; others were declining. Same for Tier 1 & 2 – some were rising; some were declining. How come? There are three likely explanations... 1/
First, things like population demography, household structure, and nature of local industry will influence social interactions and hence transmission potential. As a result, baseline R may just be slightly lower in some locations. 2/
Second, high levels of infection will lead to some accumulation of immunity (in short-term, at least). Unlikely it's enough to go back to normal without outbreaks, but could be enough for control measures that would get R near 1 in spring to now get R below 1. (Data from ONS) 3/
