“The FDA’s decision does not mean that naloxone is now fully accessible, because it doesn’t directly lower the cost—which has always been the bottom line for true naloxone liberation.”

[Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta @nabarund]

🚨 Something huge happened today. 🚨

@US_FDA @DrCaliff_FDA listened to harm reduction programs and made it infinitely easier to purchase #naloxone in bulk. With 100,000+ overdose deaths each year, we need BIG solutions.

One Day 1, @US_FDA Commis. @califf001 should listen to @AmerMedicalAssn: “The AMA urges removing the prescription status of naloxone as an essential step to save lives from opioid-related overdose."

There is no place for these appalling threats of violence by white supremacists targeting health equity leaders. We must call this out and stand up for our physician colleagues doing anti-racist work, and these docs have full support of @AmerMedicalAssn https://t.co/lZqnvhmnvD

[Chicago Sun-Times @Suntimes]

State and local agencies spend millions of dollars each year to combat the opioid abuse problem. After reviewing the spike in deaths in Cook County, the American Medical Association concluded that more could and should be done and urge decriminalization. https://t.co/DjH0KiqfWt

The sister of Dr. Lorna Breen, who died by suicide in the early days of the pandemic, says she thinks the stigma around doctors and nurses speaking up about their mental health struggles is one of the reasons Dr. Breen died. https://t.co/0BTUkT1ZUH

There needs to be a more national approach to the #vaccine rollout. Ensuring uniformity and #equity in the distribution of this vaccine will prioritize populations who have been hardest hit by this #pandemic to have #access early on.

Thank you, Dr. Henderson, for being one of the thousands upon thousands of physicians and other health care professionals working to save this nation.

If ur keeping track of things u can't do in this country while being black, and "doctoring" was not already on the list, #COVID19 can fix that for u. Dr. Henderson, was preparing to care for vulnerable homeless people in Miami, but he was detained for doing that while black. SMH
