| 1639277127190151171 | Should You Get Another Covid Booster? by @nytimes @apoorva_nyc My advice? EVERYONE needs at least 3 shots.

| 1638177436222525443 | I know we all have other things in our minds right now, but as @apoorva_nyc reminds us in this excellent story, the neutering of the CDC’s fabled Epidemic Intelligence Service is another devastating legacy of the 45th POTUS. https://t.co/4wJlAoVQDG | 7 |
| 1638165869887979526 | @apoorva_nyc As Apoorva reports, CDC leadership understood the virus was being transmitted by asymptomatic people in early March, but did not inform the public until April 3. CDC staff sent to interview people arriving from China were told NOT to mask lest they alarm the public. | 7 |

| 1638244777807212545 | @apoorva_nyc I appreciate the behind-the scenes aspects, but this seems like an extremely CDC- and Biden-sympathetic take on what happened. Did Trump force Fauci and Brix to mislead us on asymptomatic transmission/masks? What about on reduced risks to kids/school reopening? | 39 |
