My husband had a stroke after a COVID vaccination.
Here’s what perseverant truth-seeking about vaccines & adverse events can turn up.*

Hope this story helps someone who’s trying to figure it all out.
*Spoiler alert: Nope, wasn’t the vaccine.

Few quick thoughts re: @POTUS's Covid:
1) Not clear where he got it – he returned from Middle East ~3 days before test +, so probably last day of trip or flight home. Flying is low, not zero, risk, particularly if people weren't wearing masks. (1/13)

As news has shifted away from print toward digital, I've kept an eye out for innovative multimedia articles/specials. This one from @CJR on the timeline of reporters covering Covid is beautifully laid out and haunting. pandemic.cjr.org/

Chornobyl is again in Ukrainian hands. And Slava Vakarchuk is there singing "Everything is going to be all right."
It is probably the first in history music performance at Chornobyl power station!
Incredible workers - brave and dedicated to their job.
Everything is gonna be alright! #Ukraine 🇺🇦

Powerful statement from @TheIHI and its Lucian Leape Institute (I'm on LLI board) criticizing the criminalization of the medical error @VUMChealth. Three decades of research in patient safety tells us that this response makes patients less safe.

On a personal note
For a poor immigrant kid who left India not speaking a word of English
And found in America a nation willing to embrace me as one of her own
I am deeply honored for this chance to serve this country I love
And grateful to a President for the opportunity

omg. The Ukrainian Ambassador holds up a tweet from Lavrov (saying Russia is in Ukraine to stop a war) and advises Russian diplomats where they can get mental health assistance.

T4: Meeting people where they are. Clinicians deserve:
- In-depth training
- Smart allocation of resources
- Constructive, data-driven education
Clinicians are smart, passionate people. They can rise to the telehealth challenge. But we shouldn't make them do it alone. #hcldr
