Unfortunately, Dr. Pan embodies that “pay to play” politician. Happy to elaborate. DM me.
Honored to join Red to Blue candidate Dr. Richard Pan in Northern California this past weekend! Dr. Pan is a father, small business owner, educator, and public health advocate.

STI testing isn't about distrust, it's about protecting your health and your partners. 💙 When talking STI testing, try: “I care about you and want to discuss STI testing before having sex. Then we can relax & protect each other.” Get more convo starters: owntheawk.org/learn/sexually…

Very sad. I had multiple interactions with Helen. She was always curious and fair. RIP
A real loss. She was a wonderful journalist and a caring person.
"Helen Branswell, a renowned infectious disease reporter who earned the respect of experts and public health officials around the world ...died Tuesday at age 69."

Uggh. The best way to assure global health security is to be local, build relationships and invest in people.
CDC just closed offices in Angola and South Sudan. Zimbabwe is next; a dozen more may follow. CDC staff overseas support countries to find outbreaks early and stop them before they reach us. Decisions have consequences. Lives will be lost, including American lives.

And @JeromeAdamsMD the nearly 4000 babies born w syphilis? A big tragedy. Readily preventable.
What’s the difference between ever infected and ever exposed? Is exposure based on self-report of close contact with an infected individual? @PaulSaxMD
As noted in the @BostonGlobe, COVID is back! And it's not what it used to be!
To ID doctors, neither statement is particularly surprising. But why is this happening?

Today is National Coming Out Day. For some, coming out is a joyful moment. For others, it can take incredible courage.
Every Coloradan deserves to feel safe being who you are, loved for who you are, and free to live openly and honestly.
That’s Colorado For All.

This signals ongoing trial activity, NOT new efficacy results.

Looney tune
“This is one of the great heartbreaks in my life.”
Peter Navarro says he had 65 million hydroxychloroquine tablets ready for distribution during COVID before opposition from Dr. Fauci and the FDA brought his efforts to a halt.
He believes President Trump was headed for a landslide reelection before COVID, and that Dr. Fauci and major media outlets helped turn the pandemic into a political battle against him.
“I literally had 65 million tablets of hydroxychloroquine that I was in the process of moving into the distribution channels.”
“Those things were on the way when the hydroxy hysteria motivated by Dr. Fauci and implemented by the FDA hit and ground that to a halt.”
“In his diary he says, ‘Use hydroxy. It’s safe. It’s worth trying it.’”
“Prior to the pandemic hitting, President Trump was a shoo-in for a landslide victory.”
“I think once the pandemic hit, the left realized, particularly the media, the CNNs, the MSNBCs, and all of that, they saw a vulnerability to blame Trump for the pandemic.”
@RealPNavarro
That’s very unusual for handpicked members of ethics committee to resign. That should be a warning, and an investigation regarding misuse of federal funds. The last thing we need is another Tuskegee. @bylenasun @SherylNYT @apoorva_nyc @corinnepurtill
More information about the Guinea-Bissau trial: 4 members of the ethics committee resigned in protest; it's funded by CDC and two private institutions; it will put babies at real risk of life-long damage; and it could be done in Denmark.
