Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

Every single pediatrician I know was first in line to immunize their children against #COVID19
That should tell you something.

Whenever I see Dr @PeterHotez on TV or on my timeline, I stop whatever I'm doing and pay attention. He's a source of accurate, level-headed medical advice in a world sorely lacking in them. 🙏
Media: @PeterHotez to @Acosta: "Pretty much any time we've seen a new variant, it's spread around the world. And we've not seen any evidence that it produces more severe disease. It's unlikely to be totally resistant" to existing vaccines. "We'll know within the next two weeks."

When I see folks wearing a mask indoors when they don’t have to, I think cool - they’re choosing public safety if unvaccinated or taking a cautious route if fully vaccinated bc their own personal risk tolerance. Either way - not something to shame them for.

33 yrs ago, one of my co-chief residents @UCSF was Steve Hahn, who went on to a storied career as a cancer specialist. In Dec 2019, he became the 24th director of @US_FDA. The rest, as they say, is history.
On Monday, @inthebubblepod, I chat w/ Steve; his 1st post-FDA interview.

It PAINS & infuriates me that we continue a path of INACTION beyond a vaccine
Deaths are increasing. Yet our leaders CHOOSE to do nothing
The nation should be in an uproar!
We could ALL know our infection status daily & stop #COVID19
Instead our leaders choose dying
Pathetic.
If only the rapid home tests were as prevalent as @michaelmina_lab's pleas for them ;-)
Hopefully soon.
Thanks for all your leadership to push this!

How Iceland's science heft countered #COVID19. Major contributions in recognition of asymptomatics, mass screening, genomics, duration of immune response. Unlike New Zealand, no closure of borders. Pandemic fatigue.

The more I think about it, the more concerned I am about 25th Amendment issues & Trump's mental status. We know he was "lethargic" & we know he's been hypoxic (low oxygen). We now know he's on a medication (dexamethasone) that causes confusion or altered thinking at times (1/3)
