This is something I am incredibly proud of. It started as a passion project after seeing the stark disparities that existed for pts with advanced heart failure. It could not have come to fruition without the efforts of dedicated fellows that continued https://t.co/KskXk5rSyd

The primary purpose of vaccines is to prevent serious illness and death

To that end, vaccines are working remarkably well

CDC is strengthening its recommendation on #COVID19 vaccine booster doses. Everyone ages 18 and older should get a booster shot either when they are 6 months after their initial Pfizer or Moderna series or 2 months after initial J&J vaccine. Learn more: https://t.co/77CTFuJFcO.

CDC anticipates flu activity this season. With more schools & businesses reopened, flu vaccination is critical. Talk to your healthcare provider about getting a flu shot and #COVID19 shot. Both can be given at the same visit. Learn more: https://t.co/CxJ9MExP17.

Trauma brings silence because it feels like there are no words to really describe what happened. Many times people need us to sit with them in silence. It is a way of joining with them so they are not alone in their experience of struggling to find words.

When your church sings a song you don't like, sing it anyway because you can bet it serves the soul of someone near you.

Sing fervently in faith because God may be using your voice to prop up a weary saint.

The @Parkland nurses don’t want our pity, our sympathy, or even our thanks. They just want us all to get the vaccine – and find ways to encourage others to do the same.

To think that this suffering could be abated if people would do just that much.

#DeltaVariant surging in U.S. New data show Delta much more contagious than previous versions of #COVID19. Unvaccinated people: get vaccinated & mask until you do. Everyone in areas of substantial/high transmission should wear a mask, even if vaccinated.

This @NEJM paper did long-term follow-up on 3958 #pregnant ppl who received a #COVID19 #vaccine.

👉🏻 No increased risk of pregnancy-specific adverse events (including #miscarriage).

So why are ppl claiming it shows a 24x increased risk of miscarriage? 🧵
