@rachralya @DrLolaFayanju has a medical / women’s health background and gave an amazing presentation centered around health disparities in research with NIH last summer. She may be a good fit or know someone to suggest here

If you make it a crime to give voters water as they wait in line, you're not pro-democracy.

Do vaccines work?

With over 70% of seniors with a vaccine shot, COVID ER visits have dropped 80%.

A covid pill could be coming sooner than you think. Think Tamiflu for covid. If Merck's drug works, it could be a gamechanger in the fight against this ever-mutating virus. w/@rileyraygriffin in this week's @BW $MRK

This about sums it up.

We can get there faster, by not thinking we're starting to induce #SARSCoV2 immunity from scratch. We've unfortunately had way too much of a head start.

Imagine explaining to yourself in 2019 that a wild Friday night in 2020 would involve scrolling Twitter for FDA updates

@MateoFM3 @Dr_Michael_PJ Q: “Have you traveled internationally in the last two weeks?”
A: “No, but we live in a hotspot and I work around Covid+ patients. Were you planning on warning the international places I traveled to?”

Talking down to others because they don’t automatically give us trust, will not increase their willingness to trust nor their acceptance of the vaccine. Meeting people where they are and taking the time to acknowledge their concerns and educate will be the only way we can do this

[Sah @SaSquats]

I understand fellow public health colleague’s frustrations with the public’s distrust in the COVID-19 vaccine, however jokes and memes aside I don’t think it is appropriate for us to assume high scientific literacy of the populous, or their deep trust (1/?)

[Sah @SaSquats]

The thing we can’t start doing is using logical fallacies saying you should believe anything that comes out of our mouths simply because it does. Science is based on repeatable, tested data. Use that data and information. Education is key.

There could literally be a vaccine that prevents some cancers and people still wouldn’t take it

(I know because this is actually a thing)

This report is noteworthy for 2 main reasons
https://t.co/ehXsVEfSWX
1. The largest genomic study of an outbreak to date, tagged by 2 #SARSCoV2 sequence letter changes
2. An extraordinary superspreader event, from a @biogen conference to Boston homeless shelters and far beyond

We can’t say “I’m not racist” when we grow up in cultures that are built on racism and encourage those behaviors, we have to work against what we inherently learn and are taught by our culture and society #AntiRacistWebinar

Not a home test yet, but a big step in the right direction
