Newsom Plans to Bring Affordable Insulin to California. scheerpost.com By Dean Baker / Center for Economic and Policy Research California's Governor, Gavin Newsom, announced plans last week for the state to set up its own manufacturing facility to produce low-cost insulin for California residents. This is a great idea. Insulin is an old drug that can be produced as a cheap generic, which is the case …

Jamanetwork (2022-07-12). Improvements in Hospital Adverse Event Rates. jamanetwork.com Despite 22 years to address the issues about patient safety revealed by To Err Is Human, iatrogenic injury remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. These adverse outcomes do not result from physicians and other clinicians intentionally harming patients, but reflect systematic failures, including insufficient investment in research and metrics, lack of safety technology innovations, limited infrastructure to deliver high-quality care, and inconsistent adherence to clinical practice guidelines.

Jamanetwork (2022-07-12). Clinical Protection During the First Omicron Wave in Unvaccinated, Convalescent US Adults. jamanetwork.com To the Editor A recent Research Letter reported that 99% of 295 "COVID-confirmed" participants tested positive for antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD). Testing performed on cross-sectional samples using a total immunoglobulin assay found no association between time after infection and antibody levels. The authors concluded that "although evidence of natural immunity in unvaccinated healthy US adults up to 20 months after confirmed COVID-19 infection is encouraging, it is unclear how these antibody levels correlate with protection against future SARS-CoV-2 infections, particularly with…

Jamanetwork (2022-07-12). Clinical Protection During the First Omicron Wave in Unvaccinated, Convalescent US Adults—Reply. jamanetwork.com In Reply We appreciate the concerns expressed by Dr Stone and colleagues that the commercially available assay for antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 RBD used in our Research Letter measures total immunoglobulin levels rather than IgG levels. That said, this assay, particularly given its wide availability, has played a critical role in research about vaccines and convalescent immunity. For example, our work using this assay showed poor vaccine immunogenicity in populations at high risk of breakthrough infections, and improvement with additional vaccine doses, which led to changes in treatment guidance for immunoco…
