Here's my compilation of 13 ideas -- a thread of threads -- of convenient easy ways to speak up & share your voice about US health policy. Geared to rheumatologists but applicable to patients/families & other specialties. You can do a little every day! #Act4Arthritis #ThingADay

Personally very concerned about how new vaccine leaders are reconsidering settled science re vaccines for hepatitis B (which prevents infection, cancer & death) and measles (during an outbreak that srsly affects immunocompromised people) @SenBillCassidy https://t.co/nr5D6wKfXT

Most important slide at #ACR24 about patient access to biologics 👇 👇
