Congrats to my nephew ⁦Eddie Scheidler⁩ who has proven dreams come true. ⁦Notre Dame Football⁩ was lucky to have you these past few years. You represented yourself,your family, and your school like the golden-domed champion that you are. ⁦University of Notre Dame⁩ ⁦NCAA⁩

I’m not sure I ever thought I would see this in my lifetime. #CRISPR (gene editing) technology providing life altering treatment for people suffering from #SickleCell dz. The promise of this technology is astronomical. Truly amazing. Eric Feigl-Ding Eric Topol This work needs to be…

Is it a “tough guy” mentality that makes men want to die earlier?

“Men are less likely to vaccinate, less likely to mask, less willing/slow to see doctors, and also higher biological risk of severe #COVID . “

The tools are there, the education is there. Men, we can do better.…

More Americans-young Americans-report trouble remembering things.
#LongCovid is a factor.

The warning signs have been there, we can’t ignore this medical nightmare anymore.

Short-sighted move by the Texas Governor. No one likes mandates, but banning them in hospitals and doctors’ offices, combined with decreased testing, could leave cancer patients and immunocompromised people very vulnerable. Politics trumps safety again. Common sense protections…

The attacks on science/medicine highlighted by ⁦Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD⁩ in his book have far reaching and potentially lethal consequences. Vaccination rates rec by ⁦American Academy of Pediatrics⁩ are lower than pre-pandemic rates. Do right by your kids and vaccinate. ⁦ cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

Great work from ⁦Texas Children's⁩ and ⁦Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD⁩ group abt their booster success.This low cost #COVID19 vax is a different from mRNA vax and should be used as an affordable alternative in the US. ⁦Great people do great things. CDC⁩ mdpi.com/2076-393X/11/1…

My inbox still informs me #COVID19 doesn’t affect #kids . False! We don’t know the long term effects of the #virus , so do all we can to keep them healthy. 7% US & 2% kids have had updated #vaccine . We can do better. ⁦Protect Their Future (Formerly @ImmunizeUnder5s)⁩ ⁦CDC⁩ mirror.co.uk/news/health/pa…

Proud to have helped lead a multidisciplinary team to bring this vision to reality. UW Health is committed to giving every patient every opportunity to have the best periop experience and the very best possible outcome. Forward!

With a clunky/slow rollout, a scavenger hunt to find kids’ shots, and ineffective messaging, an abysmal uptake of the updated #COVID19 vaccines. We can and must do better, but how? How do we rebuild faith in vaccinations? ⁦CDC⁩ ⁦Protect Their Future (Formerly @ImmunizeUnder5s)⁩ apnews.com/article/covid-…

⁦Jerome Adams⁩ thanks for sharing your thoughts, and for being a voice of reason and comfort during the early days of the scariest period of our lives.

“Vaccines are the great public health success story of our generation” Data shows that Vaxed are less likely to develop dementia than unvaxed. Saves lives and maintains life quality. we need worldly cheap vaccines available for all a la ⁦Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD⁩ washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…

From ⁦JAMA Pediatrics⁩. #Babies born to #COVID19 #vaccinated moms had lower neonatal morbidity, deaths, and admission to ICUs compared to unvaxed moms. Protection was good for first 6 months of life. Why did some folks counsel moms not to get Vaxed? statnews.com/2023/10/23/mat…

JN.1 is a #COVID19 variant to keep an eye on. Currently thought to be significantly different from XBB.1.5 (booster) and HV.1. Seems to sacrifice some binding ability to ACE2 in order to have added immune evasiveness. #CovidIsNotOver #Vaccine UW Health UW School of Medicine and Public Health

Protection from C19 is a choice (make the right one). While some will never get the vax, others want it and can’t find it. #COVID19 fatigue and #vax accessibility issues both contribute to low uptake. We can do better.

#Paxlovid is a great med that has helped millions.
Price Gouging by ⁦Pfizer Inc.⁩ means millions more can’t afford it.

Leaves a taste in your mouth as bad as Paxlovid does.

Multi-pathogen, “single sniff” nasal vaccines for Mumps, Measles, and COVID could become the norm. Vaccinations save lives and we need tools like this to get vaccine regimens back on track.
