We wrote an article explaining why you shouldn't put several variables into a regression model and report which are statistically significant - even as exploratory research. bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/4/1/.... How did we do?

🧵🧵 MPOX
1/9
Three cases of Mpox Clade 1 confirmed in Los Angeles this month, none with recent foreign travel.

A potentially more severe strain of mpox may be spreading in L.A. County
It’s the first time this particular type of mpox, known as “Clade I,” has been found in the United States among people who had no history of traveling overseas to high-risk areas.

Tackling HIV stigma is central to ending the epidemic.
