Health misinformation had a key role in the election outcome. Pseudoscientific anti-vaxxers (including some doctors) are ascending to gov positions. I discuss how we counter that. @medpagetoday.bsky.social @gfriedman.bsky.social

Hmm, i fire off emails on my phone all the time. I've never been asked to take an anger management class. Left as an exercise to the reader: can you identify any structural differences that might explain why exactly the same email from Prof Planey and I are perceived in different ways?

New modeling study finds that if everyone in the United Kingdom had worn N95 or FFP2 masks from the start of the pandemic, the rate of COVID-19 transmission would have been 9 times lower.
What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has an answer
Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.What would have happened if everyone in the United Kingdom had worn high-grade masks during the COVID-19 pandemic? A modelling study1 has estimated just how sharply transmission might have dropped.

Determining the effect of masks on viral transmission is difficult, and most studies so far have been affected by limitations such as small sample sizes. To overcome this issue, Richard Sear at the University of Surrey, UK, developed a model of transmission using data from the UK National Health Service COVID-19 app. The app, which ran on mobile phones between 2020 and 2023, logged information about infections and the length of time users came into contact with each other.

Sear built on a previously published analysis2 of 240,000 positive COVID-19 tests and 7 million contacts — instances in which app users were notified that they had been exposed to the virus. He estimated that if everyone in the United Kingdom had worn N95 or FFP2 masks — both highly effective at filtering particles — the rate of COVID-19 transmission would have dropped by a factor of 9.

Finally: we need a moratorium on any more retrospective studies on this. The last 10 years of retrospective studies on piptazo have led to a LOT of misleading studies. More retro studies will NOT help. We need high-quality RCTs. As always I'd be happy to change my mind, but I need real data.

If herd immunity via infection works, why did we not eliminate polio in the US until we had a vaccine? Why did we need a vaccine to eradicate smallpox? These and other illnesses have been around for a very long time. They kill & disable. Vaccines are safe, effective, and lifesaving.
