Canada's vaccine hoarding will prolong the pandemic globally, experts say https://t.co/ADEVvrYWyE

Friendly reminder that over 1/2 of medical student’s parents make at or above 80% of American income bracket.

1 in 4 med student’s parents are >95%ile for income. (>225,000 annually)

Only 5% of med student’s parents make the lowest income quintile.

Virtually overnight, I went from being a lawyer to being a member of a team fighting for justice and trying to turn the page on a dark chapter in our nation’s history.

Tomorrow, the next chapter begins.

An mRNA vaccine doesn't actually contain the virus itself. Think of it as an email sent to your immune system that shows what the virus looks like, instructions to kill it, and then—like a Snapchat message—it disappears. Amazing technology.

This is still happening: Tomorrow, the Trump administration and 18 states file opening briefs w Supreme Court in their lawsuit to uphold an appeals court ruling repealing the ACA. If upheld, not only will 23M people lose coverage, but pre-ex condition protections would be gone.

Terrifyingly sad cover of the New York Times today that captures just one percent of the names of those who died...RIP. I do not know ONE person in the city who has not lost a friend, a colleague, a coworker or a loved one...
