If I tell you the story of 1 person who died of #Covid19, you are likely to have lots of empathy. If I tell you that story 500K times, your empathy may start to fatigue. We can't let that happen. These numbers should not wash over you and please don't let your compassion fade.

Today was a blitz of vaccine trial data, so I've summarized some key features in this table. Bottom line: the mRNA vaccine story is simple and extraordinary; the AZN/Oxford is convoluted and problematic

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

This will go down in history as one of science and medical research's greatest achievements. Perhaps the most impressive.
I put together a preliminary timeline of some key milestones to show how several years of work were compressed into months.

It is past time to talk about methods for reproductive rights advocacy as #GeneticCounselors (and tbh all #HCPs). To promote autonomous and informed decisions for all, this includes advocacy for access to contraception and yes, late term abortion. You listening, #GCchat? 🧵 1/n

OMG. PERFECT genetic risk analogy from patient: “Sometimes in a video game I have a 99% chance of hitting another character, but I miss. Or I have only a 2% chance of making the hit, but I DO. So just because there’s a statistical chance doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, right?”
