As the great-great-grandson of the Blewitts of County Mayo and the Finnegans of County Louth who boarded a coffin ship to cross the Atlantic more than 165 years ago –

As the proud son of Catherine Eugenia Finnegan Biden –

I wish you all a very happy St. Patrick’s Day.

1) A thread on Cutting Through Spin. @LeoVaradkar contacted @HSELive re the death of a teenager in Limerick hospital. Leo calls for inquiry & as a doctor, cautions us against jumping to conclusions about a death of a young girl left on trolley in an overcrowded, Emergency Dept.

AAP celebrates the climate change protections passed by the Senate this weekend. Children are disproportionately impacted by climate change and this historic bill will ensure more kids can grow up in healthy and safe environments. We look forward to the bill soon becoming law.

On this day in 1966, DeBakey performed the first successful placement of a left ventricular assist device on a patient with a history of severe aortic insufficiency and mitral stenosis. The patient was ultimately discharged from the hospital and resumed normal activities.

A year of insulin costs $70/year to produce but costs $12,000/year to people who need it. People would die without it.

This is not ethical.

If safety and efficacy data for ages 2+ looks as good as we predict it will, I’ll be first in line to vaccinate my 2.5 year old to protect himself and our community. #ThisIsOurShot

The @US_FDA's authorization of the COVID-19 vaccine for ages 12 & up is an important step to protect children during the pandemic. Our statement: https://t.co/gkGw0g1fb5

@drbrignall LOUDER for the people with the Anti-VAX

[Matt Brignall @drbrignall]

Me: 99% of kids that get the virus are either asymptomatic or minimally ill. They pass it around, but rarely infect adults
Twitter guy: then why vaccinate kids vs COVID-19?
Me: uh, I'm talking about polio.

More than half of U.S. adults have now received at least one COVID-19 vaccine, but children remain unimmunized and unprotected from potential infection. https://t.co/4gvLV5ytyL
