Here's my compilation of 13 ideas -- a thread of threads -- of convenient easy ways to speak up & share your voice about US health policy. Geared to rheumatologists but applicable to patients/families & other specialties. You can do a little every day! #Act4Arthritis #ThingADay

Personally very concerned about how new vaccine leaders are reconsidering settled science re vaccines for hepatitis B (which prevents infection, cancer & death) and measles (during an outbreak that srsly affects immunocompromised people) @SenBillCassidy share.google/eTCMwEqZHYjLIX…

AngusWorthing's tweet card. The advisory committee makes recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the nation's vaccine schedule. Any changes could affect vaccinations for millions of children.

Most important slide at #ACR24 about patient access to biologics 👇 👇 ACR/CSRO advocating w Medicare & Congress to fix. May need act of Congress, or Pharma to stop over-rebating, which led to underwater meds & 1 onc drug going off the market entirely. Drs Phillips & Beall
