Are COVID-19 racial disparities really a thing of the past?

Meet the new pox; same as the old pox

It’s not as if the U.S. monkeypox response has been ideal, but we actually began with a head start. Unlike in the early days of COVID-19, viable vaccines were available for monkeypox in the form of smallpox vaccines.

Vitamin D to fight COVID-19? Not so fast.

Remember hydroxychloroquine? Yes, there were anecdotes and observational studies, but, no, it flunked the gold standard for evidence, randomized controlled trials. Ditto with ivermectin. Now the man named “the most influential spreader of coronavirus misinformation online” is promoting another candidate for magic bullet: vitamin D.

Surprise! Supplement makers claim their products are effective against long Covid

It’s no surprise that in this confusing environment, with millions of patients desperate for help, some companies have taken advantage of how loosely dietary supplement claims are regulated to sell unproven long COVID treatments.

Now you see it, now you don’t

It’s long been held that the more general immune-enhancing characteristics of the century-old bacilli Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine might convey protection against diseases other than TB. Why not Covid-19?

Targeting truth: gagging pharmacists in Missouri

There’s so much COVID-19 misinformation out there, it’s easy to become desensitized to it. But, a recently passed Missouri law (the Gag Rule) takes misinformation to a new height (low?) and may shock even the most cynical among us.

Retraction distraction

At least 247 COVID-19 papers have been retracted so far (out of more than 275,000 published to date) and probably more will be or should be withdrawn.

Vaccine misinformation relatively uncommon in mainstream news media, but spreads widely

To the extent that misinformation has led some to shun proven COVID-19 prevention measures, the two plagues have been in a kind of mutually reinforcing tango since the pandemic’s earliest days.

Senate turns its back on the world’s poor

The Senate demurred on providing any aid to help poorer countries vaccinate their citizens, in effect turning our backs on people who need COVID-19 aid the most. It’s a terrible idea that is likely to backfire on our own country.

Ivermectin's boom and bust

With each new well-conducted large trial, the picture becomes clearer that ivermectin is not the “miracle” cure for COVID-19 that some claim it is.
