I have enrolled in a #COVIDvaccine trial & last week got my first shot!!

But this wasn’t always my plan. I had a surprising amount of hesitancy early on. So I want to share how I worked through it.

This will probably be my longest thread ever. But stick w/me! (1/)
An avid advocate that #vaccinessavelives I found myself personally & professionally skeptical about the speed with which vaccines were being developed & politicized.

So I read about #COVIDvaccine development & listened to @NEJM’s podcast weekly podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new… (2/)
I also found this @nytimes #COVID19 vaccine tracker helpful

Last week, on Wednesday, February 27, the #MedicareForAll Act of 2019 was introduced in the House of Representatives by our Congresswoman, @RepJayapal, and over 100 co-sponsors. #HealthIsAHumanRight
For years, Republican control of the House of Representatives has led to inaction and obstruction efforts to improve our federal #healthcare system and increase access to healthcare, including the undermining of the #ACA's healthcare marketplace. #HealthIsAHumanRight
In the meantime, the total cost of #healthcare spending by the United States government has soared to about $3.5 trillion - about $11,000 per person, the highest per capital spending rate in the world for healthcare. #HealthIsAHumanRight

This International Nurses Day is a good reminder of the vital role nurses play in the society. We particularly celebrate nurses who go deep into hard-to-reach communities to help people access primary healthcare.

#InternationalNursesDay
Nurses are strong. But more important is their ability to be a leading voice in advocating quality healthcare provision as a principal human right in every nation of the world. Health is for everybody!

#NursesLead #AVoiceToLead #HealthIsAHumanRight #InternationalNursesDay2018
We agree with the theme of the International Council of Nurses for this year's International Nurses Day:
"Nurses A Voice To Lead - Health Is A Human Right"
Nurses can inspire change in the society.
