Covid, Vaccination & Medical Misinformation

Sepsis affects 50 million people annually and accounts for approximately 11 million deaths! However, despite these devastating statistics, progress in reducing the morbidity and mortality of sepsis has been limited. In stark contrast, it would seem that the response to the current COVID-19 pandemic has achieved more in 12 months than has been achieved in the last 20 years of sepsis campaigning.
