Hi President Donald J. Trump, break vaccine patents NOW. Stop allowing big pharma profiteer billons on taxpayer-funded technology. Your inaction to support a #TRIPSwaiver is costing lives. #JointAddress

On 5/11/20 I reached out to @NathanGrubaugh and Anne Wyllie. Because of their brilliance SalivaDirect, Inc. has now been used in over 35 states and 100+ labs. It fostered the development of other low-cost tests, and saved thousands of lives. The world is a better place Yale School of Public Health NBA

New report for the week! While Variants of Concern still make up the majority of what we sequence, we're seeing an overall drop in all cases - which is the best way to prevent the spread of any variant. 🥳

Do you know that only ~6% of the SARS-CoV-2 genomes submitted to GISAID (up to July 20th) came from low- and middle-income countries? 🌎🧬 In this study we discuss the causes, consequences and possible solutions for disparities in SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance. 🧵👇

We are recruiting individuals under the age of 18 years in the US to participate in a free and confidential study for the validation of an at-home saliva collection kit for SARS-CoV-2 testing. Parents/guardians, please follow this link for details: redcap.link/slobba

The #COVID19 #vaccines are designed to prevent disease—they are also incredibly effective at preventing #transmission! Here we discuss the immunological mechs that cause vaccines to tangibly and effectively reduce transmission! 🧵 1/n sciencedirect.com/science/authSh… The Lancet Infectious Diseases

This new The Lancet Infectious Diseases review on #SARSCoV2 transmission makes the strong case for mucosal immunity, which could be achieved via nasal or oral vaccines, that are unfortunately not getting priority for development thelancet.com/journals/lanin… Darius Mostaghimi

Me, age 12, skipping school to listen to a hero of mine talk at the Chicago Humanities festival. He signed my copy of "Infections and Inequality" and answered multiple questions. His writing is a significant part of why I'm doing what I am with my life. Thank you, Dr. Farmer
