Actually having #COVID19 is FAR riskier than getting the vaccine. However previously, not everyone was at high risk for exposure to the virus (risk of harm = risk of virus x risk of exposure). #DeltaVariant is a game changer because you 💯 will be exposed. So vax it or virus it.

This is insanity.

Healthcare workers are at the breaking point. The best way to reduce hospitalizations is to get vaccinated.

The @AAFP joins other health organizations in urging the U.S. FDA to consider emergency use authorization of a safe and effective #COVID19 vaccine for children under age 12.

The simplest answer is usually the correct one. So why are so many twisting themselves in knots to try and explain why pediatric hospitalizations are skyrocketing (it’s not RSV) or 620,000 are dead (it’s not asymptomatic Covid plus something else). It’s a nasty #covid19 virus.

Seriously, y'all.

That was crazy I still can't believe we had a release of weaponized anthrax (I saw the first 2 cutaneous cases, as a recently graduated epidemic intelligence service officer)

Mask up, folks. Hospitals are running out of beds again. This is entirely preventable. Please give healthcare workers a break by staying well and getting a vaccination.

So. Much. Winning.

Lots of head nodding when @kwoeltje said it's ok to turn off innovations that miss the mark #chime_chloe

Hospitals in multiple states I’ve visited this week are all at a breaking point, due to the current RSV/ Flu/ Covid syndemic. They literally have no beds left for transfers for heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, etc. Please consider your flu shot and your covid booster! 🙏🏽

This thread is gold.

Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?
