Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

What's next for children and COVID-19 vaccines? Pediatricians from around the world weigh in:
#COVID #vaccines

[Sheila Mackell @SheilaMackell]

@michaelmina_lab And thank you for a fantastic presentation in the webinar today despite being ill 🙏

[Shematologist, MD @acweyand]

Every single pediatrician I know was first in line to immunize their children against #COVID19

That should tell you something.

@arispetridis Hi, the unroll you asked for: Why you should you vaccinate your kids in 6 words: Vaccines reduce… https://t.co/bhTnlaHH4F Share this if you think it's interesting. 🤖

Whenever I see Dr @PeterHotez on TV or on my timeline, I stop whatever I'm doing and pay attention. He's a source of accurate, level-headed medical advice in a world sorely lacking in them. 🙏

@ASlavitt @dr_kkjetelina She was also a speaker recently on a fabulous webinar directed to parents on getting their kids vaccinated - need to copy/paste:

When I see folks wearing a mask indoors when they don’t have to, I think cool - they’re choosing public safety if unvaccinated or taking a cautious route if fully vaccinated bc their own personal risk tolerance. Either way - not something to shame them for.

33 yrs ago, one of my co-chief residents @UCSF was Steve Hahn, who went on to a storied career as a cancer specialist. In Dec 2019, he became the 24th director of @US_FDA. The rest, as they say, is history.

On Monday, @inthebubblepod, I chat w/ Steve; his 1st post-FDA interview.

BREAKING: 5 actions of pres-elect @JoeBiden's vaccine plan:
-Expand criteria to 65+ & essential workers
-Increase vaccination sites (100 federally-supported sites) especially to areas hardest hit
-Fully activate local pharmacies
-Ramp up supply w DPA
-Full transparency

[Michael Mina @michaelmina_lab]

It PAINS & infuriates me that we continue a path of INACTION beyond a vaccine

Deaths are increasing. Yet our leaders CHOOSE to do nothing

The nation should be in an uproar!

We could ALL know our infection status daily & stop #COVID19

Instead our leaders choose dying
Pathetic.

How Iceland's science heft countered #COVID19. Major contributions in recognition of asymptomatics, mass screening, genomics, duration of immune response. Unlike New Zealand, no closure of borders. Pandemic fatigue.
