Dr. @DavidFajgenbaum shares his journey to find treatment for Castleman’s Disease and announces @EveryCure, his nonprofit working to find new uses for generic drugs to treat rare diseases.
Fascinating interview with my @ClintonGlobal partner and fellow Hoya @DavidFajgenbaum about his new nonprofit @EveryCure, which repurposes existing drugs to fight other diseases. He saved his own life this way and wants to help millions of others.

Approximately 75% of human diseases don’t have a single FDA-approved treatment. That fact nearly cost Dr. @DavidFajgenbaum his life, and at #CGI2022, he announced a Commitment to Action that aims to change it.
Happy World Castleman Disease
Day! #WorldCDDay
I hope you'll RT to help to spread the word about #Castleman disease, a deadly cytokine storm disorder at the intersection of autoimmunity and
cancer that thousands of patients are battling…
Really excited to be expanding our team @Penn to add a data scientist focused on discovering #drugrepurposing opportunities for #cytokinestorms & #rarediseases. Please RT/share with anyone you think may be talented & interested in discovering treatments! https://t.co/NxEB9eJD1h
The plausible world to get to is most people eat much less (animal-based) meat, not most people are vegan.
Restaurants can really help with that by having great menus that are 80% plant-based, and the meat that is left is ethically raised and environmentally sustainable.
@80000Hours@Lewis_Bollard@open_phil I often think of Lewis's newsletter from last year about the effect of farm animal documentaries. What's the potential impact of using social media, via influencers and/or advertising, to promote veganism and farm animal welfare?
@fmanjoo I hear a lot of “they would have died from something else anyway”. In the spring I saw a few good charts of so-called excess deaths, but never see those anymore - wouldn’t they communicate the severity more clearly?
