@RajeevCMohan @Ron_Witteles @maz_hanna @RolaKhedrakiMD @MasriAhmadMD @JigPatelMDPhD @JLRosenthal @MarthaGrogan1 At nearly $250K per year, who deserves your ire? Insurer or Pharma?

@mastorismd @AndrewJSauer @RyanTedfordMD @JamesCFangMD @NavinKapur4 @LindenfeldJoann @prakashacharya_ @RankaSagar My opinion is that PA Caths are helpful, but can’t have it both ways with admin and registry data like NRD, NIS etc - lauding it as evidence when it aligns with what we want and then pointing out all its weaknesses when its findings contradict what we want.

Wonder why we constantly hear from the device side that CS trials can’t be done and we have to settle for single-arm registries…

Breaking news: CDC and FDA jointly announce that fully vaccinated people DO NOT need a booster.

Carry on with your vaccinated lives

@AlpeshShahMD Yes but 4700 dollars is ridiculous

If FDA can hold up on plasma, which I support, how does Impella sail through with its EUAs?

If you're appalled by a random guy on the internet reselling marked-up toilet paper, just wait until you hear about what the pharmaceutical industry does with insulin.

[Chris White @Stent4U]

Interesting proof of principle, now where's the beef, or will the company rely on this data for marketing a premium device with an uncertain cost-benefit?

Important new #COVID19 treatment guidelines from @NIH. We are proud of Dr. Eric Daar, our Chief of HIV Medicine, for serving on the expert panel and representing @HarborUCLA, @the_Lundquist & @LACHealthSrvs with such distinction.

Who works at hospitals?

[Chris White @Stent4U]

Let us be clear. It is the NURSES that will beat COVID-19. Without nurses, we can't open beds, we can't deliver care, and it is the nurses that "care" for the patients. Celebrate the NURSES.

@SimranSinghMD @KBerlacher @ElaineWanMD @gabyweissman @DrJCheungEP @cardiacpolymath @ddefariayeh @erichorlick @DrHenryTran Thank you. This is the most useful information/guidance for academic cardiology faculty and fellows I have seen.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

It is stomach-churning that the first thoughts these Senators had to a dire & classified #COVID briefing was how to profit off this crisis.

They didn’t mobilize to help families, or prep response. They dumped stock.

Sen. Loeffler needs to resign, too. https://t.co/3lx1Bjt4be
