We face big challenges, but the power and impact of public health are tremendous. With an approach rooted in equity and a commitment to including those who too often confront structural barriers, we can meet this moment and improve the health of all residents in the Commonwealth.

Nobody's track record is perfect but the country is pretty lucky to have Dr. Walensky.
Ashish K. Jha@ashishkjha
The @CDCDirector Dr. Walensky does the right thing Unsurprisingly The ACIP vote against boosters for people in high risk situations (i.e. HC workers) was a mistake Dr. Walensky fixed it This is why its good to have a strong CDC Director

Important to follow these longitudinally and see how the work we do addresses the disparities.

Some highlights:
- anxiety and depression symptoms substantially increased for trans adults (66.8% of ALL trans adults)
- LGBT folks are more likely to use telemedicine
- insurance coverage (nationally) about equal for cis and trans adults, straight and LGB adults

First release of data from @CDCgov and @uscensusbureau Household Pulse Survey that include sexual orientation/gender identity questions.
