Love can be defined as a wish that others be happy; compassion is the wish that they be free from suffering. If you cultivate love and compassion within yourself, it will ensure happiness, good health and peace of mind.

"It should come as no surprise that Covid vaccines do not offer long-term protection against infection. The role of these vaccines is to offer protection to the clinically vulnerable." - @SunetraGupta telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09…

Since United Airlines announced that vaccines would be required for employees last month, more than half of its unvaccinated employees have gotten their shots. Employees who do not get vaccinated by Sept. 27 risk termination or unpaid leave. apne.ws/Frqn5lY

Salad doesn’t cure COVID, Connor. We’re pro healthy eating. We’re pro healthy living. But a keto diet and jogging in the park isn’t a substitute for the vaccine. Eat your veggies. Get vaxxed. COVAX.BaltimoreCity.Gov 443.984.8650 #BaltimoreHealthDepartment #BaltHealthDept

Our thoughts are with @tomparker and @being_kelsey for courageously sharing their story and giving brain cancer patients a voice. We're all too familiar with what this disease can do and the strength required by both the patient and their family to battle #GBM. #StayStrong
"Together we will raise awareness of this terrible disease and look for all available treatment options." Tom Parker, a British singer who spent five years as part of the popular boy band The Wanted, has revealed he has an inoperable brain tumor. cnn.it/3lD3Ihj

Brain tumor patients are up against the clock due to the fast progression of their disease, so unlike conventional studies that can take months, we measure the effects of a treatment within 10 days of surgery. Learn how Ivy saves patients valuable time: loom.ly/gTzfYz0.

For many of our team members, every patient that walks through our doors is a reminder of the personal loss they have suffered at the hands of this disease. It's more than just data and science. For us, #itspersonal. youtube.com/watch?v=R6hhQIz2…

Our thoughts are with @TomParker from @thewanted who has been diagnosed with #glioblastoma. Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive brain cancer in adults and Kazia welcomes the need for greater awareness of this deadly disease.

Humanity not politics. Joe Biden sent this personal letter 2 years ago after my wife was diagnosed with glioblastoma, the same brain cancer which took his son Beau’s life. It inspires me when I am feeling crushed by the weight of this insidious disease

It’s not a “communication style”, its cruelty and indecency. Trump said he didn’t like POW’s who were captured, implied my father was burning in hell after he died and constantly trashed him while he was fighting brain cancer. This is how they have lost all decent people.

Beau Biden died at age 46 from glioblastoma multiforme, a form of brain cancer. For over a decade I have been fighting for Burn Pit legislation to help veterans who were exposed to toxic smoke like myself and Beau. I'm proud to stand with @joebiden as he fights for us.
