It's #RareDiseaseDay, a day to raise awareness for rare diseases—including sarcoma! Will you join us in sharing the message?

It’s rare disease day and I’m 1 of millions who’s 1) faced making life or death decisions with no data 2) experienced isolation so deep I thought I might never reach the light of day again 3) grappled with despair trying to find ways to help others.

#RareDiseaseDay A great example of patient-partnered research that will enable therapeutic discoveries: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Over past week we got 11.4 Million doses into arms 5.6 Million were 1st doses 5.8 Million were 2nd doses That's a problem Beyond debating delay of 2nd dose States should be using up supplies Today, there are 21M doses sitting on shelves Unnecessary. Unhelpful Thread (1/2)

Unpopular opinion We should give away the millions of doses of stockpiled AZ vaccine What? Don't I care about vaccinating Americans? By time AZ is authorized by FDA, we'll have LOTS of vaccines The time to use AZ here would have been in January By May, we won't need it

Food for thought: the presence of Black people does not “dilute the brand”. We can achieve excellence if given the same opportunities as our non-Black counterparts. In fact we often achieve excellence IN SPITE OF the lack of support. 1/
