    As a physician-scientist I feel that advocating for #ClimateAction, #GunControl #CleanAir, #healthcare #vaccines is not politics, it is a professional duty! @MichaelEMann articulates it beautifully #IfYouSeeSomethingSaySomething #MustRead #ThisIsOurLane nytimes.com/2014/01/19/opi…

    We have consistently 4 X more #COVID19 hospitalized patients (~170) compared to Flu (~45), 15 X > than RSV (10); we also have intubated #COVID19 pts. I hear similar numbers from all over the Northeast. Not aiming to spread panic, simply inject reality, encourage caution

    I'm not Palestinian. I am a Jewish Israeli Physician-Scientist. My people's history is of being excluded, discriminated, exterminated. My parents survived genocide. I cannot ignore the plight of Palestinians, their right to live in dignity, freedom, safety, peace. #NotInMyName

    When two of the greatest minds in medicine & Immunology write an editorial - I have to read, even on the beach. “Operation Nasal Vaccine Lightning speed to counter #COVID19” is a superb call for urgent action! Thanks you @EricTopol, @VirusesImmunity! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

    If you needed one more reason to regret not being an immunologist - The American Association of Immunologist MOVED #Immunology2024 from Phoenix to Chicago in response to Arizona’s Abortion Law. 🙏🏻 @ImmunologyAAI leaders/members!! Let’s all be #LikeAAI aai.org/AAISite/media/…

    While outcomes are dramatically better & #COVID19 does not affect the hospital’s function, need to #StaySafe. You know the drill. Get COVID bivalent & Flu vaccines Reduce exposures, #MaskUp in indoor gatherings, use ventilation Get tested & treated if indicated #COVIDIsNotOver

    “I did not sign up to see people die needlessly” Watch this courageous testimony from Dr. Bosslet, pulmonary, critical care physician. All our professional societies @accpchest @atscommunity @SCCM should amplify! Thank you @gbosslet #PeopleILookUpTo m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvrzzd…

    If you planned to go to a restaurant or Party on #NewYearsEve. DO. NOT. Even if #vaccinated & #Boostered. Two weeks ago, I thought we'd weather the storm in Connecticut, but state did not act to reduce spread. Now emergency rooms, ICUs, Hospitals are full. You can help. #StayHome

    As an Israeli-American Physician Scientist, Son to Holocaust Survivors, I reject attempts to shut down @uche_blackstock, @oni_blackstock, others. We should all be horrified at the silence of U.S. Medical Organizations & Journals on the devastation of Gaza. #ThisIsOurLane

    I will also use this opportunity to express that I am horrified at the silence of international and U.S. medical organizations on Gaza. This is completely unacceptable and I will never forget, nor forgive.

    We have 3 X more #COVID19 hospitalized patients (~150) compared to Flu (~55), or RSV; we also have intubated #COVID19 pts. Numbers are ⬆️ in recent days. Not aiming to spread panic, simply inject reality, advocate caution, updated vaccines & masking up where appropriate.

    We closed our last #COVID19 unit yesterday; commemorated those that died, celebrated those that survived, thanked all those that took care of them. While case # ⬇️, the disease still here - need to keep getting #Vaccinated& thanks @YNHH for the amazing organization #BestHospitals

    Thx. That’s what I feel. Nearly impossible to find a straightforward comparison of COVID & Flu hospitalizations. They should have the data

    Israeli study finds association between ⬇️ #SARSCoV2 antibody titers & infections in #vaccinated healthcare workers - considering many of our healthcare workers got their vaccine 6 month ago & #Delta is ⬆️ - should we start measuring antibody titers? nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
