70% of the US economy voted for Biden/ Harris:

[Brookings Metro @BrookingsMetro]

The stark economic rift between Democrats and Republicans documented after Donald Trump’s shocking 2016 victory has grown even wider. Biden-voting counties equal 70% of America's economy, up from a 64% share of GDP in 2016 from Clinton-voting counties. https://t.co/tE1igBunEa

@AChenTPCHD @PierceTransit Happy new year, Anthony!

Thanks @SenatorNobles! Hungry kids can’t learn

Holistic, affordable quality cancer programs with respect the participation of patients are needed in LMIC where the majority of death due to cancer occur #GlobalHealth #Equity https://t.co/N0CIlN0xYx

A beautiful, heartfelt tribute from the wonderful ⁦@celinegounder⁩ to her late husband Grant. And a powerful reminder that the growing wave of health misinformation puts all of us at risk. Wishing peace and healing for Céline in the days ahead. https://t.co/7nnxtmfPKU

We're excited to announce the Global Platform for Access to Childhood Cancer Medicines, a partnership between @StJudeResearch and @who that will transform access to essential cancer medicines, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Learn more at https://t.co/DH2o4MZJse

A New York City pilot program to respond to 911 calls for mental health crises with social workers instead of cops appears to be reducing unnecessary hospitalizations, while increasing the percentage of people who accept help when offered.

If you're unwilling to wear a mask a little longer to protect kids under 12 who can't get vaccinated maybe stop calling yourself 'pro-life'

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

The GOAT @Simone_Biles having to sit out--because a man is not held accountable to do the same-is shameful. Biles still cheering on her teammates, even while taking care of herself, is one of the many graces that make her a true champion, forever & always. We love u Simone.

[David Evans @DaveEvansPhD]

There is lots of discussion in the U.S. as to whether childcare affects women's labor force participation.

Internationally, @PJakiela, @HeatherKnauer, & I find evidence that daycare (and sometimes preschool) often boosts labor force participation.

Break the fucking patents already and start manufacturing the damn vaccines globally

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

Seriously, read it again knowing what we know:

[Abraar Karan @AbraarKaran]

I know many have been tweeting that today is a big day because all American adults are now eligible to be vaccinated against #covid19. It’s also a very strange/sad day as much of the world is seeing surging cases and doesn’t have access to vaccines that wealthy countries hoarded.

.@seanspicer Who do you think cares for patients after they develop a brain / abdominal abscess, bone infection, etc at the site of a gunshot wound? Infectious disease docs care for patients for MONTHS-YEARS after the injury. We manage all these downstream complications and more.

One day, when I run for President, adequately funding local public health will be one of my top priorities.

BREAKING: We are deeply disappointed at the Biden Administration's decision to maintain the historically low Trump-era refugee cap of only 15,000 refugees annually. We're calling for an increased admissions goal in light of unprecedented global need. More: https://t.co/ROs1eizTmM
