We’ve been working with the City of LA & San Mateo County day and night to help deliver vaccines. Helped book 400k vaccinations and administer 250k. We provide both the tech & 100s of onsite clinical staff. Instead of supporting this, CA is throwing a huge curveball 1/5

another paper published indicating 20-50% of ppl have T cells cross-reactive to SARS-COV-2 along with evidence this is due to prior exposure to common cold coronaviruses, potentially explaining why such a large % have low/no symptoms and recover quickly

What if Wes Anderson directed The Lord of the Rings? We asked the community which video they want to see next and Lord of the Rings took the cake… or should we say Elven bread. We hope you enjoy this Midjourney to Middle-Earth. #LordOfTheRings #WesAnderson #MovieTrailer #LOTR

COVID is causing 4k premature deaths + $3.3B loss to US GDP PER DAY. if we don't surge fast, imperfectly, decisively, today, the virus will evolve and we'll be stuck in an economic rut, as lockdowns + deaths persist for a long time. let's surge. let’s win the War!

🙌 @GavinNewsom -- please publish your target throughput (vaccines/day) on these mass vaccination sites + how many more expect to open over time (+ pls open smaller sites at schools/parking lots). we really want to see a 45-day vaccination projection model for CA!

NEW: CA will be opening mass vaccination sites this week including Dodgers Stadium, Padres Stadium, and CalExpo. Our goal continues to be fast, equitable, and safe vaccinations statewide.
