Los grupos antivacunas están explotando el sufrimiento y la muerte de las personas que se enferman después de recibir la vacuna contra covid, lo que amenaza con socavar la campaña de vacunación más grande en la historia de los Estados Unidos.

En algunos casos, están inventando historias de muertes que nunca ocurrieron.

“Esto es exactamente lo que hacen los grupos antivacunas”, dijo el doctor Peter Hotez, especialista en enfermedades infecciosas y autor de “Preventing the Next Pandemic: Vaccine Diplomacy in a Time of Anti-Science”.

Los grupos antivacunas han afirmado falsamente durante décadas que las vacunas infantiles causan autismo, tejiendo fantásticas teorías de conspiración que involucran al gobierno, las grandes empresas y los medios de comunicación.

Ahora, los mismos grupos culpan a las vacunas de problemas médicos que estos pacientes ya tienen, incluso cuando está claro que la edad o las condiciones de salud subyacentes son las responsables, … Read the rest

There Are Three Kinds of Primary Care, Not to Be Confused With Each Other

By HANS DUVEFELT

Primary care doctors, the way things are organized in this country, perform three kinds of services. If we don’t recognize very clearly just how fundamentally different they are, we risk becoming overwhelmed, burned out, inefficient and ineffective. And, if we think about it, should we really be the ones doing all three?

SICK CARE

Historically, people called the doctor when they were sick. That service has, at least in this country, become more or less viewed as a nuisance in primary care offices. We keep a few slots open for sick people, in part because the Patient Centered Medical Home recognition process requires us to. But our clinics may worry that those slots go unfilled and lead to lost revenue.

Instead, sick people scatter toward emergency rooms with crowding, high overhead and liability driven testing excesses or to freestanding walk-in clinics that only sometimes are integrated with … Read the rest

Con la llegada del invierno y el brote de coronavirus en pleno apogeo en el país, la industria de los restaurantes, que espera pérdidas de $235 mil millones en 2020, se aferra a las opciones al aire libre incluso durante los gélidos meses de invierno.

Carpas, toldos, invernaderos, hasta iglús y todo tipo de estructuras parcialmente abiertas han aparecido en restaurantes de todo el país.

Los propietarios recurren a estas opciones como un salvavidas para ayudar a llenar algunas mesas, y tener al menos la posibilidad de ofrecer una experiencia gastronómica más segura.

“Estamos tratando de hacer todo lo posible para ampliar la temporada de comidas al aire libre durante el mayor tiempo posible”, dijo Mike Whatley, de la Asociación Nacional de Restaurantes.

Tiempos nefastos han obligado a la industria a encontrar formas de sobrevivir. Whatley dijo que más de 100,000 restaurantes están “completamente cerrados”.

Over a month into a massive vaccination program, most older Americans report they don’t know where or when they can get inoculated for covid-19, according to a poll released Friday.

Nearly 6 in 10 people 65 and older who have not yet gotten a shot said they don’t have enough information about how to get vaccinated, according to the KFF survey. (KHN is an editorially independent program of KFF.)

Older Americans are not the only ones in the dark about  the inoculation process. About 55% of essential workers —designated by public health officials as being near the front of the line for vaccinations — also don’t know when they can get the shots, the survey found. Surprisingly, 21% of health workers said they are unsure about when they will get vaccinated.

At the last minute, President Donald Trump granted pardons to several individuals convicted in huge Medicare swindles that prosecutors alleged often harmed or endangered elderly and infirm patients while fleecing taxpayers.

“These aren’t just technical financial crimes. These were major, major crimes,” said Louis Saccoccio, chief executive officer of the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association, an advocacy group.

The list of some 200 Trump pardons or commutations, most issued as he vacated the White House this week, included at least seven doctors or health care entrepreneurs who ran discredited health care enterprises, from nursing homes to pain clinics. One is a former doctor and California hospital owner embroiled in a massive workers’ compensation kickback scheme that prosecutors alleged prompted more than 14,000 dubious spinal surgeries. Another was in prison after prosecutors accused him of ripping off more than $1 billion from … Read the rest

Leveraging Technology and Data for COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution

Kevin Grauman, President and CEO, QLess

After months of uncertainty, hope is finally on the horizon as three viable COVID-19 vaccine candidates are moving closer towards approvals for public distribution. Getting to this stage was extremely labor-intensive, but unfortunately, it’s not the end of the hardships. The coronavirus vaccine will represent the largest vaccine distribution in U.S. history, and manufacturing and distributing the vaccines will have its own fair share of difficulties for healthcare systems. In order to optimize the distribution of vaccines, healthcare providers will need to employ technology and data collection to stay organized. Unfortunately, vaccine approvals are quickly looming, meaning that the necessary technology infrastructure needs to be implemented soon. Healthcare facilities need to understand what solutions can be deployed to facilitate a safe and efficient distribution plan — and how to implement them before it’s too late.

With three potential vaccines, each … Read the rest
