There is no way to gloss over the concerns this recent event brings to the forefront. And there are some simple ways to reassure the public.

Having spent 25 years in this space, the most critical thing we need to do today is be transparent and timely with all data and…

The past is being rewritten

But none of us who witnessed those early days can scrub our memories of the pain, and horror

We’ll never forget finding young, otherwise healthy people dead in a chair

And we’ll never forget our colleagues who died

You might.

But we won’t.

Now imagine changing drug manufacturing process in a similar way. Changing chemistry on how drugs are made, reduce factory footprint, reduce environmental toxicity. This changes where drugs can be made, solving supply chain issues & access.

It’s happening. #LetsDoThis

'Donald Trump’s plan to destroy civil service protections if reelected is more than an employees’ rights issue. What’s at stake is democracy itself.'

Flashbacks to 2020. Remember nurses in garbage bags? Hospital & nursing home leadership told staff to forego N95s, pointing to CDC advice that they weren't warranted. >3,600 health workers died of Covid in 2020.

Very concerning to see a piece of Trump's blueprint to destroy democracy. We must not let this happen.

We must protect our civil service workforce.
We must protect our democracy.

In the last 5 Ebola outbreaks, only ONE-THIRD of patients received one of these treatments!

These medications do NO good sitting on shelfs in stockpiles of wealthy countries!

COVID was just the latest in a long history of profoundly inequitable access to life-saving tools.

10 years after the horrific West African Ebola epidemic, we have life-saving treatments

Yet they remain under the control of just two US pharma corporations

And they're almost exclusively kept in a US stockpile for national security purposes

Antibiotic resistance is a huge concern of BARDA’s. And it's one we must work together and take an end-to-end approach to solve. No one group has the solution, just as no single antibiotic is a silver bullet. #HealthSecurity #AMR #WorldAMRCongress CARB-X CMSGov

- Retrospective study
- Use of #molnupiravir in persons who are immunocompromised can lead to the accumulation of viral mutations and treated patients remain PCR positive
- This could lead to onward transmission and subsequent emergence of novel variants
