Association of Receipt of the Fourth BNT162b2 Dose With Omicron Infection and COVID-19 Hospitalizations Among Residents of Long-term Care Facilities | Geriatrics | JAMA Internal Medicine | JAMA Network


careful what you believe and always question medicine- even if it is about covid vaccine

low value care exist in the VA but also in the community-- you need a comparative arm to figure out how bad you are doing or good you are doing.

You can also check a level if you are trying to make the diagnosis of rickets. ELSE no need to check anyone, if you really believe in it or your patient really believes in in then just start 2000IU and continue to take as long as they feel indicated because it likely is not doing any benefit but realistically it is not doing any harm at that dose either (there has been harm seen at super high doses 50,000IU)


listener question---- My question is what is the smallest doses statin I need to convince patient to take to benefit.

For me the answer is that yes high dose is better than moderate dose for those needing secondary prevention, but any dose is better than no dose for both primary and secondary prevention. If the patient isn’t taking the medication it doesn’t matter how good the drug is so ultimately if they are very serious about their risk reduction then go ahead and try and push higher dose statin else just take any dose the patient is willing to take and be happy they are you getting some sort of risk reduction that drastically beat ‘nothing’/placebo.
