Who lives? Who dies? Who tells your story? Grateful to The Lancet for the space to tell my story as a Black enrollee in a #COVID19 vaccine trial—and for giving this proud TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY alum the chance to reclaim the beautiful and true narrative of Tuskegee. #HBCUMade

While we celebrate what a #COVID19vaccine means for our future, we also know many myths are circulating online. To set the record straight, our infectious disease specialists share six key facts they want everyone to know.

If I, a #MedPeds trained Black woman residency PD was enduring something like this? I’d want other #MedPeds trained Black women residency program directors to stand with me in solidarity. And so I do. This makes me so sad. #DrDennar courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

I've always wondered about the utility of tapping and scanning kids with complex febrile seizures in the PICU. Looks like the diagnostic yield is low based on this retrospective study. #childneuro

Small consolation of a pandemic with no in-person conferences: Getting to splurge on classic textbooks with leftover education funds.

Why hasn’t Dr. Griffiths ever taken care of a patient with polio in his 15 years of practice? Because people took their vaccines 60 years ago. We have the opportunity to do the same with #COVID19. Protect our children today, tomorrow and for years to come by getting vaccinated.

Please get vaccinated/boosted and do the same for your kids. "Collectively, the health care systems have experienced 100 to 200 percent increases in COVID-19 hospitalizations in the past eight days and the vast majority of inpatients are unvaccinated" news.emory.edu/stories/2021/1…

It's not about states' rights. It's about individuals' right to autonomy. The option for elective termination of pregnancy is part of providing good healthcare.
