The COVID vaccine booster is very worth having for some population groups but mandates are no longer justified. Here’s a paper we published in 2021 on what you need to justify a COVID vax mandate. https://t.co/EgPmKcttKd https://t.co/WEn9WZrggJ

A survey of scientists around the world finds 15 per cent of them received death threats after speaking about COVID-19 — and it is having a chilling effect on their work.

@Sydney_Uni @SydneyUni_Media @DrEmmaLJohnston @mscott This article from 2021 detailed the problem. Support is so important. As said, "It helps centre you and reminds you what the majority think. It takes you away from the darkness that's in the minds of these people, which is what you need — you need light." https://t.co/XFdypOR9KQ

Background The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in extreme strain on health systems including the health workforce, essential health services and vaccination coverage. We examined disruptions to immunisation and maternal and child health (MCH) services, concerns of personal well-being and delivery of healthcare during the pandemic as well as factors associated with self-reported trauma or burnout among healthcare providers (HCPs). Methods In March–April 2022, we conducted a cross-sectional survey among HCPs in two provinces of Indonesia. HCPs involved in COVID-19 or routine immunisation and MCH services were randomly selected from district/city health office registration lists. We descriptively analysed service disruptions experienced by HCPs as well as trauma, burnout and concerns of personal well-being and delivery of healthcare during the pandemic. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were undertaken to identify factors associated with trauma or burnout. Results We recruited 604 HCPs

Study of Indonesian health care providers - 64% reported trauma or burnout during the pandemic. More likely if: delivering immunisation, less confident answering COVID vax q's, or treated poorly. @maddierandell1 @merusheel @univ_indonesia @UNICEF https://t.co/kdB47LB9fU
