When the 1st openly gay @PressSec and the 1st openly trans @HHS_ASH & four-star admiral meet at the @WhiteHouse during #Pride. Proud to be a part of an administration where everyone can see themselves reflected in leadership. We've come so far. Here's to shattering more ceilings.

Nobody's track record is perfect but the country is pretty lucky to have Dr. Walensky.
The @CDCDirector Dr. Walensky does the right thing
Unsurprisingly
The ACIP vote against boosters for people in high risk situations (i.e. HC workers) was a mistake
Dr. Walensky fixed it
This is why its good to have a strong CDC Director

In a pandemic, waiting & waiting for more data to make a decision has a cost. The cost of time with a virus that has exponential growth. No decision is a decision in this emergency context.

Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in the US & emphasizes the march towards justice. As we reflect on history & lived experience, I affirm CDC’s commitment to this work. Racism is a public health threat. Together, we can confront these barriers & commit to changing our nation.

Everyone 16 and older in America is eligible for the shot today. Go and get ‘em, folks.

Confronting the impact of racism on the health of our nation will not be easy, but we can meet this challenge. We can create an America where all people have the opportunity to live a healthy life when we each take responsibility and work together. I am committed to this work.
The #COVID19 pandemic has illuminated longstanding racial and ethnic health inequities that have persisted in this country for centuries. Learn more about how CDC is working to understand and measure the health impacts of racism. bit.ly/3dJVEcl

We can and must do more to address health equity! #COVID19 is causing disproportionate harm to communities of color – higher rates of chronic diseases, stress, mental health challenges and disparities and disruptions in access to care and services.

Today, I repealed the discriminatory ban on transgender people serving in the military. It’s simple: America is safer when everyone qualified to serve can do so openly and with pride.
