A visual argument for vaccines, in five tweets:
1/ A ward of polio victims, incarcerated inside "iron lungs" in 1950s America. Many are children, their lungs paralysed, unable to breathe unaided. Thanks to vaccination, no-one has caught polio in the UK since the 1980s.

No, no, this isn't a camp, this is a work meeting. You are now foreign secretary. Don't worry you're far better than the last one. #BorisJohnson #workparty #boris

4. Was the age profile of #COVID19 admitted patients different from other waves?
Yes. They were younger.
- 80% of admissions = people younger than 50 (this is also the case across Gauteng province, where Tshwane is located)
- 19% = children aged 0-9
- 28% = 30-39 years

3. What do we know about admitted patients' vaccination status?
Snapshot of 2 Dec:
Of 38 adults in #COVID19 wards:
* 6 = vaccinated
* 24 = unvaccinated
* 8 = unknown vaccination status
Of 9 patients with COVID pneumonia
* 8 = unvaccinated, 1 is a child
* 1 = vaccinated

Being smart is not the only thing that matters. Being generous and kind, being able to listen to other people, are the qualities that are much more needed to be present in a person besides being smart or intelligent.

President Biden failed to answer the fundamental question. What will America do about Afghanistan’s looming humanitarian crisis? Who will protect the men, women, and children left behind?

As a leading research and surveillance institute, we are excited and honoured to be involved in an initiative of this magnitude. And we salute all others involved.

UCT STUDENTS: Please be careful of the wolf in sheep's clothing.
Not everyone who offers help is doing so from good heart.
⚠️Human traffickers are on high alert as well.

Jackson Mthembu's wife is still a nurse at a clinic. This is unusual in the ANC. A wife of a minister in the Presidency still working at a clinic? No family tender? No connections? Just contend to serve at whatever level despite access to power. Jackson Mthembu was exceptional.

WE first, not me first, is the only way to end the pandemic.
Vaccine hoarding will only prolong the ordeal & delay Africa's recovery. It is deeply unjust that the most vulnerable Africans are forced to wait for vaccines while lower-risk groups in rich countries are made safe.
Africa is in danger of being left behind in the race for #COVID19 vaccines as countries in other regions strike bilateral deals, driving up prices. @WHOAFRO, @UNICEFAfrica & @Gavi call for urgent access to safe & effective vaccines on the continent. ➡️bit.ly/3o0xWf3
