    By taking a joy ride outside Walter Reed the president is placing his Secret Service detail at grave risk. In the hospital when we go into close contact with a COVID patient we dress in full PPE: Gown, gloves, N95, eye protection, hat. This is the height of irresponsibility.

    Newsmax preempted their schedule to broadcast the president’s rally but apparently didn’t think it important to change the title of the programming.

    Ever been to a crowded event during flu season where 72 people contracted the flu? No? That’s because this isn’t the flu.

    The silence of George W Bush during the most consequential election in our lifetime is indefensible.

    The reason to vaccinate the baby is to prevent transmission from the mom.
    Trump: “Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted. There's no reason to give a baby that's almost just born hepatitis B.”

    The only Senator refusing to wear a mask as he signs the oath is former doctor ⁦⁦⁦@RandPaul.⁩ An embarrassment to the Senate and to medicine.

    Dr Birx portrays herself as an ill-fated passenger on the Titanic when in fact she was an officer on the bridge.

    If you’re concerned about the crush of kids getting sick with COVID/flu/RSV, there’s an intermediate strategy between doing nothing and schools going virtual. It’s a 4-letter word.

    The longest duration of CPR I’ve ever witnessed was about 90 minutes. The wife of that patient called today to tell me he’s back at work.

    Arkansas has the 6th highest COVID mortality rate in the US.
    Today I was proud to sign an executive order terminating five existing orders on COVID. In Arkansas, we will not have mask or vaccine mandates. We will not shut down churches or schools. And we will move beyond COVID. I stand for freedom and it’s time to get back to normal.

    Thanks for your question congresswoman. There’s no data to suggest increased fetal demise after COVID vaccination, but there’s ample data showing increased maternal death caused by COVID infection. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/
    Is there is a correlation between fetal demise and covid vaccines?

    Still trying to figure out how this administration decided to purchase 63 million doses of hydroxychloroquine but declined an offer to reserve an additional 100 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
