Long thread: Because I couldn’t find anything comprehensive, I’m just going to post everything I’ve seen in the news/Twitter about Trump’s activities related to the Jan 6th insurrection. I think the timing & context of his actions/inactions will matter a lot for a senate trial.

12/19: Trump announces the Jan. 6th event by tweeting, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Immediately, insurrectionists begin to discuss the “Wild Protest.” Just 2 days later, this UK political analyst predicts the violence

...The clinical trial data is from November, as for the FDA data. There's more detail than in the FDA report, though, of the phase 2 study, which hasn't been published. 600 people: a lot of data on immunogenicity (but not cell-mediated immunity)...4/n

...More methodological data on blinding etc for the phase 3 trial & *a lot more data* than in the FDA report. And take a moment to appreciate this: 30,000 people enrolled in less than 3 months. Giant thank you's due all round ...5/n
