My ICU residents figured out how to use Epic to generate lists of unvaccinated pts in their primary care panels and, any time they have a minute, they make a call. They're working twice as hard & they're saving lives.

I am so impressed and so proud to be here @challiance

One of the great things about the @JoeBiden appointments so far is that they have been based on talent, character, and achievements.

Here's a prime example.

@SenJasonLewis @CindyFriedmanMA @challiance @repdonato @RepUltrino Looking forward to discussing the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines with you and your constituents next week.

@TheFrancesUe @BarnerIDpharmD @ARapoportMD @BIDMC_IDFellows @IDWeek2020 None of the sessions have disappointed! Top epidemiology papers, COVID late breakers, challenging ID cases, and all the named lectures are highly recommended. But the most novel thing I learned is that dogs are being trained to detect SARS-CoV-2. #IDWeek2020

To succeed, in addition to a vaccine against Covid, we need to immunize public health agencies around the country and around the world against political interference.
