If you are unvaccinated and think why get a vaccine because even vaccinated people are getting infections... Wrong idea! For vaccinated, breakthrough infection is like getting another booster dose of COVID vaccine. For the unvaccinated, it is risk of hospitalization, death.

Another great example of the effect of vaccines in dramatically reducing deaths: The Netherlands. The spike in COVID cases in July was a straight line. But deaths have stayed low unlike previous spikes. #VaccinesSaveLives

As usual, nephrology patients are frequently denied entry into therapeutic COVID-19 clinical trials based on their GFR. Therefore, we are excited to enroll our first ESRD patient into this one. #trialbarriersESRD MUSC Nephrology MUSC Health clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04…

Although #WomenInMedicine month is gone for another yr, I want to recognize all the truly excellent sessions delivered by a smart group of ladies at this years #onconephrology symposium @MayoClinicNep. It was by far the most valuable onconephrology course I have attended.👏💪

Delivery of baby in the pre-eclampsia patient does not mean the work is done. Post partum HTN is a major risk factor for stroke, CVD and death. Great talk by Phyllis August #KidneyWk

People in North West Syria are dying due to crush injuries and lack of supplies. The only border crossing from #Turkey is still closed. Supplies need to be delivered ASAP by air. Other crossings should open immediately. United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) sams_usa #TurkeyEarthquake
