I think it's fair to say humanity took a bit of a beating in 2020, but one month into 2021 there are signs of a fightback.
It took a year to reach 100 million confirmed cases worldwide. It's taken six weeks to give out 100 million doses of the vaccine.

I'm so so excited about this marketing campaign. I think it's really using the best of social media. Having your friends genuinely share with you when they've been vaccinated so you can have real conversations about your decision making and be inspired is the best of what we do.

Very proud of this program. It’s one of the programs I help fund at the college and I believe Magdalene does a really good job of promoting access and inclusion which is amazing when you look how far the college has come from being the last college to admit women.

One of the best ways to reduce hesitancy is to show ppl others in their community who are getting vaccinated - that’s why we’re increasing our promotions of profile frames that allow people to voice support for vaccines 7/7

this is awesome - we need audits, we need cuts at the category level (since, for example sites like twitter and facebook where links are a big thing will have different abuse than things like youtube and instagram with mostly visual posts) but I'm just so happy to see this. 1/2

It is worth noting life expectancy at age 81 of a man (I'm a man hence choosing that) in the UK is 89. So if the average person is dying of covid at age 81 that is robbing that "average" person of 8 years. I hate the takes using life expectancy at birth.
