@matthewherper Thanks Matt! Perhaps the examples you show of Braunwald’s use of data to improve cardiology will inspire others to respect and apply the scientific process to other areas of medicine.

@daviesbj Only a urologist!!! You can call me envious.

Rochelle Walensky exits as CDC cheif https://t.co/nSd4nUe1t5 Dr. Walensky has been an excellent director who has put a lot of effort in reforming and modernizing CDC.

After hearing@govAbbott and his call for wider availability of mental health care, I am wondering if he would now support Medicaid expansion of the ACA (Obamacare) which does just that? I have not seen any proposal from GOP?

The more I think about airlines abruptly allowing mask removal w/o warning—mid-flight for many—the angrier I get. People who are #immunocompromised had no choice not to travel or to upgrade their protection at that point. Some will go on to die. As an oncologist, I am enraged.

I just admitted 3 patients to the ICU in 30 mins. All of them had qualified for the vaccine over a month ago but never got it. Sadly, all of them now have severe Covid. Please DON’T HESITATE when it’s your chance. It may be your last.

[Otis Brawley @OtisBrawley]

RomneyCare was a real positive for Massachusetts. This could be a real positive.

As we celebrate Madam VP Elect Harris, let us remember the women who got us here. Among them Fanny Lou Hamer, Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordan, Alice Allison Dunnigan and yes the amazing Stacie Abrams!!!

I too grew up in Detroit in the 60’s Professor Dyson is so right.

[Michael Eric Dyson @MichaelEDyson]

I grew up in Detroit in the 60s. This is a stark reminder of the deep hatred of blackness felt by many white folk who lived in the suburbs but who exploited the city’s services and resources before fleeing back to “safety.” “Stop the count” may as well be “Stop the blacks.” Sad.

[Otis Brawley @OtisBrawley]

For those who believe in science and fact. Perhaps the most important fact of the pandemic.

[Andy Slavitt @ASlavitt]

We don’t need a high tech miracle as much as we need some people to believe in simple cause and effect.

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

This report is stunning. Political appointees are interfering in the publication process of MMWR, the CDC’s longtime, hallmark public health journal, to insure alignment with the President’s preferred narrative. They should have no role in scientific publications. None.
