My late colleague and brilliant co U.S. Science Envoy with me in the Obama Admin the @Caltech Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Ahmed Zewail would disagree. God rest his soul he didn’t have to endure this, and of course RFK Jr forgets that it was the Arab scientists of the Middle Ages who kept Aristotle, Hippocrates, Galen alive to hand it down in the Renaissance. My favorite books on this topic attached

Influenza cases are climbing in Canada.

Flu shots are widely available, and can help lower the chance of infection and hospitalization.

Below are this year’s flu trends (arrow) vs. the past three years.

“Whether it’s spreading avian flu, HIV, Ebola or a novel pandemic virus, we as a society cannot afford to be caught with blinders on,” says HIVMA Immediate Past Chair @AgwuAllison, emphasizing the importance of federal health data.

When I started talking about Oligarchy, many people didn't understand what I meant.

Well, that's changed.

When the 3 wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government.

We must fight back.

[Clare Fogarty, MDCM @mclarefogarty]

It's so easy to feel discouraged and disheartened by what's going on south of the border. @SenSanders' words remind us that we cannot let ignorant and hateful politicians distract us from fighting for what matters.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I attended Trump’s inauguration yesterday.

Here are my thoughts:

Here’s the Chest X-Ray of a young girl suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death in children and adolescents in the U.S.

What’s the diagnosis?

[Graham Walker, MD @grahamwalker]

Just so we're clear: the pregnancy that ends up in the wrong spot, like the fallopian tube? The one that will NEVER turn into a baby and will rupture and kill your wife, daughter, or sister? Terminating that fetus is also an abortion, and they want to ban those, too.

Two words: toxic twitter.

With 40 billion dollars, Elon Musk could have given each of the 330M people living in America a million dollars and still had $7B left over. Why aren't more people talking about this?

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

I can't believe this even needs to be said, but...if you support providing asylum to refugees from Ukraine, you should also support providing asylum to refugees from EVERYWHERE.

[Stella Safo, MD MPH @AmmahStarr]

Get up.
Make some tea.
Check the covid numbers.
Ensure Zellensky is still alive.
Commence day.

We are truly living in wild times.

"If you're comparing this [vaccine mandate] to the Holocaust, you need to educate yourself" -- The self-declared 'Freedom convoy' needs to lose extremist rhetoric, says association head as truckers reach Toronto https://t.co/yEn0J4vh43 via @cbcnews #COVID19 #cdnpoli #vaccination

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

The trucker🚛convoy has been hijacked by a fringe element that sounds an awful lot like the “freedom fighters” and “patriots” who gathered at the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, by @garymasonglobe https://t.co/jN5XTJpJT6 via @GlobeDebate #COVID19 #cdnpoli

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

The #Omicron variant reveals the true global danger of ‘vaccine apartheid.’ Sharing vaccines with poorer countries is the right thing and the self-interested thing to do. The west needs to stop being so short-sighted. https://t.co/XAcNAF51IA via @guardian #COVID19 #GlobalHealth

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

Imagine we supplied vaccines to countries that need them as fast as we are at blaming them for the new COVID variants.

[Ingrid T. Katz @IngridKatzMD]

I want to be clear about the nu variant.

We know what we know BECAUSE South Africa has invested in advanced genomic sequencing.

We owe them a debt of gratitude - not punishment.

Transparency is critical in a global pandemic. We need to support these efforts collaboratively.
