Hey #rheumsky, last year I folded #HCWvsHunger team 'NoRheumforHunger' into the Derm + Renal Team, UrineitToWinIt, but they are MIA this year. What say we join team #meal-ioidosis the Infectious Disease team who welcomes all who believe in vaccinations. Lord knows we rheumatologists ❤️💉! Thoughts?

I took on RFK Jr. and the anti-vaccine movement, and we won.

Now extremists in Washington are attacking science and shutting down the government again.

I’ve fought this battle before. I’ll fight it again for truth, science, and families.
