Carbon dioxide is giving Earth a jolt!

Did you know there’s about 400 parts per million (ppm) of caffeine in coffee? There's over 400 ppm of CO₂ in our atmosphere today. If you've felt the surge of caffeine hitting your system, you've experienced the effects of just 400 ppm.

Happy day for me. Several people I care a lot about got the COVID vaccine today, overcoming some hesitancy. What do I say to my patients who are unsure about the vaccine? This:

Proposal:

You can only purchase a gun one time every two years. It can only be a Tuesday in November. You must go and wait in line. There is only one place in your county. You must have multiple forms of ID. No one can give you water while you wait.

100 million shots in 100 days will be completed this week instead of April 30th (we're at 97 million administered; tomorrow is 50 days)
—Now 1 in 4 adults, 61% ≥ 65 year olds have had at least 1 dose
—At current 2.2M/d, would be >210 M shots in 100 days (+ hope we can rev up)

We’re just sayin’. To abolish mask -wearing laws in some States while the rest of the Nation keeps theirs is like designating a peeing section of the swimming pool.

Your reminder that Amy Coney Barrett was nominated by an impeached president who lost the popular vote by 3 million, and will be confirmed by GOP senators representing 11 million fewer Americans than their Democratic colleagues — after Obama's pick couldn't even get a vote.

Big Pharma company Gilead is charging $3,000 for a coronavirus drug that costs them less than $10 to produce. If that’s not looting, I don’t know what is.
