Happy to be able to contribute to the conversation about #VaccineHesitancy and #MedicalEthics Brown Medicine ACP. Thanks Drs. McDonald and Chan!

I put this out there yesterday as a question really: should Rhode Island House of Representatives Rhode Island Senate and perhaps other public entities continue to allow remote testimony, in addition to in-person testimony? Anyone know if this is done successfully elsewhere?

Congratulations Gayle Goldin, and thanks for all you've done for Rhode Island! You'll be great!

ICYMI - last week ACP stated our support for American Academy of Pediatrics recent recommendations re: requiring masks in schools. acponline.org/acp-newsroom/a…

Sadly, your religious beliefs will not protect my patients... Looking forward to working with those of you not yet vaccinated again soon! #GetVaccinatedNow #VaccineMandate

Thanks to ACP member Vinny Arora MD MAPP for this research with your colleagues. We have SO MUCH more to do to achieve gender equity in health care. #WomenInMedicine

Save lives! Protect the frail! Help the economy in the long term! It's our values that drive our recommendation for universal masking. "The science" alone won't do it. Let's state our values and own them, then make policy. Rhode Island Medical Society K. Joseph Shekarchi Governor Dan McKee

Thanks for asking katherine gregg! Yes, yes, yes! As a participant in public meetings, as an observer of public meetings and as an advocate for both broad participation in government and in public safety, yes!!! (Now!)

BA.2, could be you. If you haven't gotten your booster yet, get it now! For yourself, but more importantly for your family, for your co-workers, for your community. #CovidVaccine

Take some time and pay attention to what matters... Kim and Pete, or Vladimir and Volodymyr? nyti.ms/3rfCIcR

Thanks to Annals of Int Med for giving me the opportunity to share this sorry at #IM2022 ! Annals Story Slam - Alice Warren Turned 106 in February | Annals of Internal Medicine acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/W2…

Thanks ACP for reminding why I love the practice of medicine for the people (colleagues and patients!) but also for the science at #IM2022

Friends can give friends #COVID19, family members can give family members #COVID19, nice people can give nice people #COVID19. Be considerate: Test yourself periodically, wear a mask, stay home with cold symptoms. (#LongCovid can be really awful!) Just sayin'

Thanks, Liana Cassar (for this and for everything you've put into your work over the last few years) and Bridget Valverde for this important legislation. #DoingtheRightThing for our fellow Rhode Islanders!
