2) Please read this in-depth analysis why J&J vaccine has been underrated. Get any vaccine you are offered... but I love this one a lot... see thread 🧵 why.
UNDERRATED BENEFITS of J&J vaccine on severe illness— lost in efficacy comparisons is how the J&J vaccine efficacy actually may **get better over time** for severe #COVID19–as high as 90-95% at 56 days—trend is very strong. And makes J&J on par w/ Pfizer-BioNTech & NIH-Moderna.🧵

Ph1 trial of an interesting combo - olaparib + capivasertib - in solid tumor patients harboring BRCAmut, DDR or PI3K/AKT path alterations Promising CBR of 44% and RP2D for two different schedules identified for further development @OncoAlert cancerdiscovery.aacrjournals…
Over the past weeks @drbexl and I had many conversations about today. We called it #Bexit. 😀 When it came it was surprising and peaceful. Death is an outrage. But Bex wanted you to know that she didn’t lose her battle with cancer; she won her adventure with life. #BeMoreBex

I’m desperately sad to tell you that our unique and precious friend @drbexl died this afternoon. There will be much more to say later. For now, know that she lived joyfully and died peacefully, and she is now safe in the loving arms of God. #BeMoreBex

1/ My favorite love story ♥️ Grady wards, pre-COVID There was this Grady elder who'd been admitted to my team. His issue was quickly sorted out and the very next morning he was ready for discharge. Nothing about his problems were complicated. At all. Nope.

⚠️TWO DIFFERENT #COVID19 PANDEMICS—Many think with cases dropping that pandemic is nearly over. But truth is, there are now 2 different #SARSCoV2 pandemics diverging—old strain is waning, while the more contagious #B117 strain is dominating. We will be soon slammed very hard. 🧵

Many cancer researchers focus on tumor response, but Marjan Rafat, PhD ’12, is working to understand how the effect from the surrounding normal cells could actually alter tumor behavior: buff.ly/3ccHP73 @RafatLab @HarvardAlumni

Great blog. Are the lives of cancer patients less important than those of Covid patients? #BusyLivingWithMets #Secondarybreastcancer #COVID19 metupuk.org.uk/2021/02/are-t…

Watching healthy people being super phobic/paranoid about shot side effects is interesting. I remember getting radiation & chemo all the while signing forms & understanding I can just as easily die from my treatment as the cancer, though certainly will die without. Life’s a trip.

I guess I am naive, but I am still stunned our cancer centers haven't been out there publicly advocating for us.This is truly the hunger games.

I was just called by the James and told NOT to get the Pfizer or Moderna CoVid vaccine since I had a reaction to Taxol per CDC Warning mRNA vaccines contain PEG that is also found in taxol. They are recommending patients who’ve reacted to Taxol wait for non-mRNA vaccine #bcsm

A 🧵 about vaccine prioritization from the perspective of a patient with very elevated mortality risk due to cancer but is “too young” to have a turn in line at this point. 1/
