Vaccine inequity is when 43 countries complete their vaccination campaigns this year while 67 countries have yet to report a single vaccination. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

At the start of this pandemic, 5.4 MILLION people lost their health care—the highest increase in uninsured Americans EVER. It's clear: tying health care to jobs is cruel and inhumane. I reintroduced #MedicareForAll today because health care is a human right, not a job benefit.

The U.S.'s top #COVID19 doctor is right: scarcity won't suffice. We CAN produce enough vaccines and COVID treatments for everyone globally, and the U.S. has the power to make it happen. #PeoplesVaccine

Here's @EdMarkey's full speech tonight

This isn’t the culmination of the past four years. It’s the culmination of the past five centuries.

300,000 people have died of covid. Here are 10 that I think about regularly

It is our societal obligation to ensure equitable access to testing, treatments, and vaccines. Equitable support for those who are hurting. And equitable pathways to opportunity as we emerge from this crisis and rebuild—including for the most marginalized communities.

@sweetchinchilla Agreed! 💯

@AugieLindmark Yup. And no drugs are amazing if you can’t afford to access them in the first place.

@jakequintonMD Fair point. And I suppose one has to recognize the need to sign out before writing said sign out.

@AugieLindmark Yeah! But....would you trust that sign out?

A few ways the humanities are fundamental to our pandemic response: they shed light on sidelined issues and stories like caring for vulnerable communities, xenophobia and racism, illness and suffering; and they allow us to envision alternative futures. bit.ly/3nnkqlt
