Much respect to @drSikhulileMoyo & #Botswana @AidsHarvard Partnership for being first to identify the #Omicron variant. You’ve done the world a service.

Let’s repay courageous scientists and leaders in Southern Africa by ending #VaccineApartheid!

Saturday evening thought

You know the two awesome vaccines that will tame the pandemic?

Pfizer's vaccine developed by two Turkish immigrants

Moderna's vaccine developed by a black woman virologist (@KizzyPhD) @NIH

Another reason for diversity in STEM

I began my medical career at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis, and I've spent my life ever since working to research, treat, and combat infectious diseases.

I'm honored to be called to lead the brilliant team at the CDC. We are ready to combat this virus with science and facts.

It’s a new day! @JoeBiden will invite science to the table. I can think of no one better to lead a #COVID19 task force than @BrighamMedRes grads @vivek_murthy and Marcella Nunez-Smith, along with @DavidAKesslerMD. They will have tremendous expertise w/@celinegounder @ZekeEmanuel

I don't enjoy unearthing the worst moment of my life. But I continue to do so because we continue to question families' fundamental right to choose.

I was in law school when they Clarence Thomas-ed Thurgood Marshall’s seat. That they have the opportunity to do it again with RBG’s makes me sick.

Recently, @BrighamWomens had a COVID-19 outbreak among 20+ patients & staff. We rapidly traced and tested all contacts and advised quarantine. We deployed PCR testing in <24 hours for ~9,000 staff. We ID’d 52 total cases associated w the cluster and are containing the outbreak.

Did I just hear President Trump call on the Proud Boys, the right-wing extremists, to "stand by"?!
Stand by for an assault on election workers? Stand by for what?

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

My South Asian Heart Health Awareness and Research Act will change that.
