Like his music, but this stand is stupid, ill-informed, and socially harmful. Nothing honorable about rejecting science. "Eric Clapton refuses to play venues requiring vaccines for concertgoers" ow.ly/Nuxk30rOG2G

The US vaccine export ban fails on humanitarian, economic, health, & strategic grounds. The problem in USA is too little demand whereas elsewhere it is too little supply. This counter-productive case of America first-ism needs to go as we help ourselves if we help others.

Every health expert in the Nation asked you to stay home #Thanksgiving2020 . And this is how America responded. If you think we are having a bad #COVID19 surge now, wait to see what happens 7-10 dys after all of these folks travel back home from the Holidays.

A pig. Great at refuse disposal but also a source for flu, trichinosis, cysticercosis,and Nipah virus (i.a.) And we're feeding them antibiotics by the ton in massive factory farms. It is a global porcine petri dish for developing new superbugs. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F…

Trump is just a failed businessman, who lost more American jobs than any other President. Trump is on track to be the worst jobs President in recorded history. We need a President who will invest in Americans.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that they key takeaway from the RNC is: "Look at how terrible America is right now, vote for 4 more years!"

How pissed off are you that the USA has topped 5 million #COVID19 cases & 163,000 deaths? You should be infuriated: Long lines for tests, waits of up to two weeks for then-useless results.. So take action. Go here 👇🏽, see what you can do to fix this mess. rapidtests.org/

To save society from this virus, we need to focus on daily fast #COVID19 tests. These are more critical now than even vaccines Forget the headlines! These are not less accurate. They are perhaps MORE accurate to tell when transmitting Ill explain 1/ nytimes.com/2020/08/06/healt…

Experts are revising their views on the best methods to detect infections, setting aside long-held standards so that the spread of the virus can be more quickly tracked and contained.

Wishing you well, Louie! And thank you for standing with millions of women who don’t want you coming between them and decisions they make with their doctor. How about this: you stay out of their doctor’s office and we stay out of yours.

I am taking #Hydroxychloroquine to treat my coronavirus diagnosis. It is what was decided as the best course of action between my doctor and me--not by government bureaucrats. How long until the tech tyrants censor this tweet?

America is in SO MUCH trouble. Only 8 States are trending now in a direction to #COVID19 control. 42 States are heading the wrong way -- 36 of them have out-of-control epidemics. As a Nation, we're losing our fight w/ #SARSCoV2 -- & it's our own doing. covidexitstrategy.org/
