Thanks @marnisommer for attention to an important topic

[CDC @CDCgov]

Trying to start a family? If you’re trying to get pregnant now or would like to get pregnant in the future, you can get a #COVID19 vaccine.

There’s no evidence that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, can cause fertility problems.

CDC's vaccine advisory committee ACIP met today to advise on J&J pause

After thoughtfully discussing what we know & don't know about rare clotting events, they punted

The advisory committee decided not to advise

This was a mistake. J&J should be un-paused soon

Transgender adults are more likely than cisgender adults to be #uninsured (19% v. 12%) and report cost-related barriers to care (19% v. 13%).

And they are more likely to report poor health (10% v. 5%) or ever suffering from depression (38% v. 19%). https://t.co/UuiJzVTFUE

New Zealand just approved a new measure allowing for paid leave after miscarriage. The legislation is believed to be among the first in the world, applying to couples who lose a baby at any point.

[ACOG Action @ACOGAction]

For 11 years, the #ACA has been a women's health success story by expanding access to maternity care, reducing the rate of uninsured women, and slashing out-of-pocket costs for contraception to $0. Tell us why today YOU are saying "Happy Birthday ACA!" #CLC2021 #obgynaction

This afternoon I visited a vaccine clinic at Kaiser Permanente Rock Creek Medical Offices in Lafayette where more Colorado seniors and teachers are receiving the life-saving vaccine this weekend! Thank you to all the health care professionals working hard to vaccinate Coloradans.

Many of you asked me why I cleaned the Capitol on Jan 6. I want to show you this photo. This is my mom, an immigrant from Korea, bringing me to DC for the first time. She took me to the Capitol and taught me to love and care for this nation that gave us everything.

[Dr. Glenda Gilmore @GilmoreGlenda]

Josh,
Do you remember when you came to my Yale talk on the history of affirmative action? You disrupted it, aggressively held the floor during Q&A, wouldn't let anyone else ask a ?, & refused to sit down. When I said you were rude & had no right to muzzle the audience, you left.

[Reproductive Freedom for All @reproforall]

The #SCOTUS ruling on medication abortion disproportionately harms people of color and those with low incomes—the same communities experiencing the brunt of #COVID because of systemic racism, disparities in access to healthcare, and healthcare outcomes.

This will make it worse.

No mother should have to go through this. 

A vial of insulin costs about $5 to make. Yet people with diabetes are dying because drug companies charge as much as $540 per vial in the U.S. https://t.co/iRd8n2AA27
