Stepping up repeatedly to respond to outbreaks of some of the world’s deadliest emerging viruses doesn’t count for much these days if it becomes politically expedient to target you.
To my colleagues & all my fellow Americans—today it’s Vincent & Kwe. Tomorrow maybe it’s your turn. This is fascist shit. If it stands it is the end of our democracy

There are bird flu vaccines being developed outside the US & we have existing vaccines. However:
Other countries don’t have US vax manufacturing capacity
The extant 10M dose stockpile is matched to the cow B3.13 isolate. It’s only 10M doses

This video embodies the spirit of @CAHR_ACRV. Mentors, world experts, people with lived HIV experience, new and experienced trainees, many community members. All spontaneously dancing in one big circle together.
THAT is how we make progress in Canada.
And in science.

@CAHR_ACRV Annual Conference this week in Halifax. They understand, know, prioritize and forward HIV knowledge. Not just the biomedical lens, but equally the experience of living with HIV for all communities and people.

This year seems particularly important as we see HIV research, care and global influence being dismantled in other places. Our Canadian researchers will continue to discover, now more than ever!

Every single vote has equal impact.
Have impact. Vote.
Let’s be honest, most days, the impact each person has ISN’T equal. It matters where you’re from, who you know, how much money you have, etc. etc. etc. Not fair, maybe. But true.

But on election day, your voice matters exactly as much as any other person.
On election day, your vote is your impact. If you don’t vote, you are unseen and can’t have direct impact.
Please vote on Monday April 28. 2/2
