We are witnessing a grave dichotomy as some countries are rejoicing with vaccines others such as India are in a deep public health crisis exacerbated by so many health disparities. What affects one in this pandemic #COVIDEmergencyIndia will affect all https://t.co/W4aWBnuGGc

You’re not officially a genetic counselor until you’ve somehow managed to take someone’s full family history and done a risk assessment at a party. #GCChat
