    I think she is such an amazing leader and not because she is a woman but because she is thoughtful and has a plan to care for her people and contain #COVID19 . The fact she is a woman is an added bonus. https://t.co/TxinAVM3TC

    New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says her country’s borders will remain closed to foreign nationals until all New Zealanders are vaccinated and protected. Here’s a video of her talking about why “flattering the curve” wasn’t good enough. Real leadership in action. https://t.co/MivmQnOzW9

    "A lot of people are concerned about changes in the virus and what this means... I just want to reiterate that everything we are learning about these variants doesn't change our approach to controlling #COVID19. We have the tools. The control measures work." -@WHO's @mvankerkhove https://t.co/qd8j1z7zMA

    With high rates of #COVID19 & new variants maybe it’s not the best time to have people from all over the US crowd into a stadium for #SuperBowlLV (7,500 HCW’s - just b/c they are vaccinated doesn’t mean they can’t be exposed and transmit - we don’t know) https://t.co/mQi8cp40GN

    One question I am often asked is why so many vaccines were developed for #COVID19 - this is exactly the reason. This is unfortunate news and you never know which vaccines are going to be able to be developed to completion. https://t.co/ipS3NCVU0G

    One year ago today we had two cases of #COVID19 in the US and in a year we have had over 25 million people get infected and over 400K die. We will get through this hard time and have to keep pushing forward to contain this pandemic and make it through to the otherside. https://t.co/nolhaFCafF

    Remember #COVID19 is not the only infectious disease outbreak going on in the world right now and that conflict and unrest such as that seen in Tigray also leads to the spread of infectious diseases which are harder to combat because resources are being directed to the pandemic. https://t.co/9XGLwQWFES

    This is great news! Hopefully will be approved soon. Will have to be strategic about how we use this vaccine. Would consider use for challenging to reach populations -homeless -rural -those being discharged from hospital - individuals not engaged with healthcare https://t.co/96hwu33SA6

    Finally to make scheduling easier we need one website that has updated information with all the states information. Scheduling of vaccines is so difficult with each state in different phases if we want to have quick uptake we need to remove barriers and make it simple

    We also need good demographic information on our #COVIDVaccination campaign -Who has been vaccinated - How many returned for their 2nd shot -Ethnic and racial data -Gender -Areas where people are not being vaccinated This will help us target outreach campaigns

    We are trying to get everyone to take the #COVIDVaccination when they are given the opportunity. Shaming people b/c of underlying conditions is not hurtful and going to make it more difficult to reach the end goal of getting the pandemic under control https://t.co/qAngVR6EiG

    Covid vaccine prioritization is already hard. Don't make it worse by shaming obese people.

    Fatphobia has been running rampant, and the vicious response to giving obese people early vaccine access shows just how cruel — and dangerous — it’s become.
