There are a few different COVID-19 #vaccines out there and we know it can get confusing, but there are lots of resources to help us understand. The bottom line: None of the COVID-19 vaccines will change who you are, what is in your body, or infect you with #COVID. #sicklecell

Miles Davis was diagnosed w #sicklecell disease in 1961 at the age of 35. His autobiography shares, "by now I was in a lot of pain all the time from what I found out was sickle-cell anemia, which was causing arthritis in my joints, especially in my left hip..." #sicklecell101

Annual eye exams are needed for people living with sickle cell disease. Your ophthalmologist can detect and provide treatment for #sicklecell retinopathy to prevent vision loss and blindness. #sicklecell101 #sicklecellanemia #sicklecellawareness #sicklecellwarrior

I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us. They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.

Thank you Commission for your confidence in me as the next chair for the Board of Police Commissioners. Thank you to our past chair Commissioner Borden for her work. There is much work to be done and I look forward to continuing it with commissioners and community members.

Congratulations, Dr. Zaidi! Excellent news!

Congratulations to my friends, @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris — our next President and Vice President of the United States.
