Get off of Facebook and talk to your family’s doctor. It ain’t hard reading this defense.
Carson Wentz on his vaccine status: “Trust me I have weighed a lot of things. I know what is at stake. It is just where I am at and where I am at with my family.” Adds: “It is a fluid process. I am weighing every pro and con.” @WISH_TV #Colts #Wentz

Today is Equal Pay Day and I would like to draw attention to the fact that female primary care physicians are paid 25% less than their male counterparts. And, there is a 17% differential in base salary. We must do better and @aafp will lead. medscape.com/slideshow/2020-…

We keep seeing stories reaffirming what is already known - people trust their primary care physicians most. So, let’s give primary care physicians vaccines and let them work their magic!
A focus group of Trump voters who were hesitant about getting a COVID-19 vaccine found what other research has also found: People's doctors are far better messengers than politicians or celebrities, especially with Trump voters. trib.al/mcAAeWK

Today, @aafp Presidnet @leroy_gary joined other advocates in meeting with President Trump to advocate for a ban on all flavored e-cigarettes and vaping devices.
Today we joined medical & public health organizations at the @WhiteHouse to urge @POTUS and his Administration to follow through on their promise to clear the markets of all flavored #ecigarettes, including mint and menthol that hook youth on tobacco.
