Vaccine inequity is when 43 countries complete their vaccination campaigns this year while 67 countries have yet to report a single vaccination. https://t.co/PP3csd1NuO

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.

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.

Not to be a killjoy, but to be a killjoy: There's been good HIV meds for 25 yrs. Yet, the better part of a million (mostly nonwhite) ppl still die of AIDS every yr. Absent an anti-capitalist, anti-racist approach, medicine alone will not end our current (or any) pandemic

The health care corner of Wall St. is drooling over a Biden presidency and split Congress. Assumes that divide would lead to no substantial changes, not even a public option. Health insurers, pharma stocks up big.

Keep calm. Be patient. Allow local elections officials to do their jobs. What is most important isn’t the speed of the count; it’s that every eligible vote is counted. Americans made their voices heard in record numbers, and their votes must be counted. #Election2020

Test positivity increasing in ALL age groups. Positivity in >65s increased 44%, from 3.6% 5 weeks ago to 5.2%; 5 weeks ago rate in young adults was 50% higher than in over 65s; last week 20% higher. What started in the young didn’t stay in the young. 2/ https://t.co/rdP1Dc6xrD
