- Never been more proud of @CandiceCodyMD. Working tirelessly to get her practice/hospital ready for the surge, but also in her “spare” time developing effective, inexpensive, and cleanable PPE. Snorkel mask + 3D printed adapter + viral HEPA filter (N99). #womancrushmonday
- I got the #CovidVaccine today at @WRBethesda. We have a long way to go, but this is a big step toward taking back our way of life. I hope everybody else will do the same when they have the chance! @CandiceCodyMD
- I never imagined when we first spoke that we would be where we are now. What an incredible journey, and the best is yet to come! Happy anniversary @CandiceCodyMD
- I hear a lot of concerns and questions about the COVID vaccines - here are some comments that hopefully make sense. 1) Masks prevent you from spreading your respiratory droplets (potentially laden with COVID) to others. They still have a role with unvaccinated ppl. Sry it’s true
- Got my second #CovidVaccine shot yesterday. I feel very fortunate to have been included in the early distribution. I am confident to be doing my part to protect my family and community, pushing this pandemic behind us. I hope everyone does the same when they can! @CandiceCodyMD
- Replying to @JPCodyMDLastly, the safety cap comes off the needle at a right angle when the needle is IN the arm. I can’t believe I had to say that. But there it is. Fin/x
- Replying to @JPCodyMDThe Pfizer and Moderna vaccines contain NO active virus, and they did not rely on any aborted fetal tissue for viral culture or reproduction like some have inaccurately suggested. No preservatives either (thimoserol or mercury) which is why they need to be kept frozen. 3/x
- Replying to @JPCodyMDNo, we are not paid actors. Yes this is real. No it is not propaganda. We are both physicians that make $0 from pharma. As a full time anesthesiologist, @CandiceCodyMD must take risks with her health when she cares for COVID patients. It is a very high risk specialty. 11/x
- Replying to @JPCodyMDAt 35 weeks, the baby is nearly full term with only growth and fat production, and some lung maturation left to occur. Some of you Twitter scientists need to review your embryology a little bit before you spit fire at people that deeply understand this process 14/x
- ❤️ Let’s GO!!!Got my #CovidVaccine today at 35 wks pregnant. Will pass antibodies to baby. Grateful to be part of ending the pandemic. To those waiting: have patience. ❤️ To those who are unsure: read primary sources, ask, & don’t give into fear. @JPCodyMD @VHC_Hospital
