There is so much misinformation and fear-mongering around #COVID19 vaccines for pregnant and nursing women. A brilliant @YaleMSTP student @Aliceluculligan and I wrote this OpEd to dispel these myths, and provide relevant facts. Please share widely. https://t.co/iyneLwvE5y

We don’t know everything about Covid-19, but getting immunized is still the best way to protect your health.

Since the pandemic began, @VirusesImmunity and her team have learned a lot about immunity to the virus by studying sex differences. “Age and sex are where immunological changes intersect,” she says. https://t.co/afCo9RV9cY

Men are 1.7 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than women. Yale researchers like Akiko Iwasaki are working to figure out why.

Using both mouse and human brain tissue, researchers at @YaleMed have discovered that #SARSCoV2 can directly infect the central nervous system and have begun to unravel some of the virus’s effects on brain cells ( https://t.co/voWDoQ2MAO). Press release: https://t.co/KjNja93aiB

What is the relevance of viral load in #COVID19 disease severity? A very talented @YaleMSTP student @SilvaJ_C found that saliva viral load to be a better predictor of disease than nasopharyngeal viral load. Here is a thread to explain the findings. (1/n) https://t.co/ZLmbjywlML

There's been controversy as to whether #SARSCoV2 directly attacks brain cells. This new @JExpMed paper supports that it occurs via brain organoids, mouse models, and patient autopsy. And lack of IFN response. https://t.co/bbO0BqZW5Z @ericsongg @VirusesImmunity @YaleMed @YaleIBIO

My lab and I have been thrilled to work with @VirusesImmunity and her lab on this project. This is our first debut into systems immunology using a new platform we developed called REAP. We'll have a lot more to say about REAP soon, but please check out Akiko's 🔥 Tweetorial below
