VA Palo Alto administers 50,000 vaccine doses to Veterans, spouses and caregivers
Share Article
VA Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS) has reached 50,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered to Veterans in the bay area, with even more doses administered to spouses, caregivers, and VA staff. The amount indicates nearly half of the Veterans who receive care within the healthcare system have now received their vaccine.
“There has been so much work that has gone into operating these clinics. We could not have reached this milestone without all of the support of our staff and community.” said Megan O’Connor, Interim Deputy Director for VAPAHCS and executive lead for the healthcare system’s vaccine operations.

Stories Falsely Cite 'Stanford Study' to Misinform on Face Masks

Full Story
Evidence indicating that face masks can help control the spread of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has grown since the virus first emerged, upending life around the world. In March, we outlined the evolving research on the efficacy of face masks and explained why experts support their use.
But a stubborn thread of misinformation falsely claiming that masks do not work, and are actually dangerous, continues to be recycled and shared a year-plus into the pandemic.
Viral headlines in recent days have wrongly purported that a “Stanford Study” proved that masks are ineffective and dangerous. In reality, the paper in question was one author’s hypothesis and didn’t come from anyone currently affiliated with the university.

primary reason that you should wear a mask for anyone should wear a mask is because a mask or a face covering reduces the potential that you might infect someone else. And what we're seeing with this disease is that in some reports, up to 60% of people that are infected show no signs or symptoms, so they have no idea that they're infected. They're going and interacting with Grandma and grandpa, parents, siblings, um, and exposing all of those individuals. What we're seeing, actually, report just came out today. That really showed that the viral levels of the level of virus that I have if I have no symptoms whatsoever, is exactly the same as the viral levels of somewhere was severely ill and requires hospitalization. So what that means is the people that are severely ill and those without symptoms I was the same risk of transmitting the virus to others. It's just that some do it unknowingly, and some have some indicators, so wearing a mask reduces the level at which you expose others

Fact-check: Are masks really dangerous and don't prevent COVID-19?

Fact-checking this information or rather misinformation tells an entirely different story
In recent days, a piece of news is getting viral, which cites Stanford University claiming that masks do not work to avoid contracting coronavirus, and are actually dangerous.
However, fact-checking this information, or rather misinformation, tells an entirely different story.
FactCheck.org said that the research being quoted was a hypothesis and did not come from anyone associated with Stanford University.

It further said that the research paper was not an original "study," but an author's propose explanation based on a review of previous studies.
Journal Medical Hypotheses, an outlet that calls itself "a forum for ideas in medicine and related biomedical sciences," published the study for the first time in November.

Face masks, COVID-19, epidemics | Homeland Security Newswire

Published 22 April 2021
The Stanford University School of Medicine issued a statement disavowing a study being circulated online that claims face masks are “worthless” against COVID-19. The author, Baruch Vainshelboim, a sports doctor with no experience in infectious disease, listed his credentials as working for the “Cardiology Division, Veteran Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System/Stanford University,” but representatives from both the VA Palo Alto Health Care System and Stanford’s medical school told AP Vainshelboim does not work at either institution. A Johns Hopkins University infectious disease expert said that the study “does not provide any strong evidence for the statement,” that masks are inefficient at preventing the spread of the infection.

Finding stable housing for veterans experiencing homelessness not only provides dramatic improvements for their lives but also potential large cost savings for Veterans Affairs medical programs, according to new research published this week from department researchers.
Officials monitoring one California VA outreach program found that the number of emergency room visits and total costs of that care both dropped by more than half for veterans experiencing homelessness six months after they found shelter through department assistance programs.
