I’ve spent my career inside ERs and health systems.

I wrote this in TIME magazine this morning to name what failed—and what has to change.

“AZT killed more people than AIDS” is false.
I was a medical resident in the late 1980s. AZT wasn’t perfect, but it saved lives and was the first step on the way to modern HIV therapy.

No, AZT Didn't Kill More People than AIDS

Making telehealth flexibilities permanent is the right call
Lifesaving telehealth regulatory flexibilities are set to expire Sept. 30. Congress must act now to pass bipartisan legislation to expand telehealth.

@cbs6-richmond.bsky.social Thank for sharing this article and reaching out to Governor Youngkin. He could help Virginians by signing an executive order allowing pharmacists to give a vaccine without a prescription. This would also save doctor’s offices from being inundated with an unnecessary ask.
Virginia families seeking updated COVID-19 vaccines are encountering unexpected obstacles as federal policy changes create confusion about prescription requirements at pharmacies.
Hoping to get a COVID-19 booster in Virginia? You now need a prescription.

@meghin.bsky.social It should not be this hard for people to get a COVID-19 vaccine if they want one. As someone who was a hospitalist during COVID before vaccines were available, I saw the difference vaccines made in reducing severe illness and death. Hopefully Virginia can adjust.

NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.
