This hospital's vaccine messaging wasn't reaching patients without email addresses. 500 phone calls later, 100 vaccines were administered that might have missed willing arms otherwise. Meeting people where they are makes all the difference. statnews.com/2021/08/24/cov…

Mississippi health leaders confirm 6th ***pediatric death*** due to COVID-19

One of the greatest tragedies about Covid is that most of the tragedy in the United States was largely preventable.

Congrats to @KDRichardson924 on this prestigious & wonderful honor. Your patient advocacy work is exemplary and we are so blessed to have your voice in this important work. Thank you for all you do and continue to do for patients, families & communities. Lots of ❤️ sis 🙏🏽

100s of 1000s of people, families, kids, could lose their homes because of tonight’s Supreme Court ruling. Dems can either pack the court, or have Congress pass an eviction moratorium. Both would require gutting the filibuster. Both would require spines. Everything else is noise.

Freedom doesn't mean you have the right to jeopardize the health of others, incubate worse strains of a deadly virus, and shut down the economy.

The teacher was unvaxxed and unmasked. This is why we need clear and consistent policy on staff vaccination and masking.

No jokes. No shade. No schadenfreude. Just a display of humanity hurtling through the rocky shoals of reckless behavior. Everyone, even medical professionals, has a breaking point.

As the Delta variant works its way across the country, Maryland still has one of the lowest case rates and positivity rates in the nation because we have one of the highest vaccination rates.

No one wakes up expecting to be injured or have a surgical emergency, but I suspect most Americans expect to be taken care of. Right now across America, healthcare workers are unable to treat patients with treatable disease. This is an absolute tragedy and preventable. 🧵

This administration's vaccine-only strategy is clearly not working in the face of the Delta variant and vaccine apartheid in the rest of the world. We need a reset, like yesterday. This administration's lack of urgency and individualist approach is truly mind-numbing.

Let me be clear: there's no scenario in which someone who looked like me, with my name, could get away with even six seconds of behavior like this at an airport, let alone sixty. Where on earth are the police? Security?

This is what #whiteprivilege looks like to a lot of us

Today, The New York Times and Los Angeles Times featured our message to all Americans. It’s urgent that we take the scientifically proven measures to protect our children: - Get vaccinated. 💉 - Wear masks, especially in schools. 😷 - Social distance and wash hands. 🤲

Remember this is the party that lost their minds over Obama and imaginary ‘death panels’. Now embracing mass preventable death. Never believe a word they say ever again. Sickening.

❤️❤️❤️

Prayers for Louisiana 🙏🏽

Alright Twitter Fam, it’s time for taking another self imposed sabbatical from Twitter. As school begins for myself and my children, need a break from this medium to focus, refresh and renew. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
