mRNA vaccines are the only platform that currently allows us to go from new pathogen to millions of vaccine doses in under a year. These vaccines saved 20 million lives from COVID. I remember crying tears of joy when I got my first pfizer shot in December 2020. Do not let them rewrite history!

#AskAnInfectiousDiseaseDoc For the next 24h ask me anything about infectious diseases and vaccines. I will try to answer your questions below. Answers are not medical advice, just information and education. I will try to do this periodically. Let's go!

Will scientists stand up and reject this? Or will they shrug and throw their hands up in the air? Eliminating the words flagged from research and grants makes whatever is produced no longer research but rather propaganda aligned with the EO of POTUS. Do not obey in advance!

Today, I am reflecting on these compelling words: “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Injustice in health amplifies suffering, as it strikes at the core of our shared humanity—our ability to live with dignity.
