ICYMI this thread on Natalie Harp from last night.
@jeremycsnyder has followed Harp, who has repeatedly told her false/misleading #RightToTry story & did again last night #GOPConvention.
Her condition doesn't qualify for #RTT & neither does #FDA-approved drug she says she took.
Harp said she has essential thrombocytosis, which is not life-threatening. She also said she was prescribed an #FDA-approved immunotherapy off-label - a common practice & not #RightToTry.
#GOPConvention used Harp's false/misleading story rather than a real #RTT patient.
Why?
Harp likes to describe her condition - essential thrombocytosis - as "bone cancer."
But essential thrombocytosis is not considered life-threatening, most patients do well/live normal lives & it doesn't meet #RightToTry criteria.
Period.

"Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson – when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. They keep moving. And, the costs & threats to America & the world keep rising.
"#Putin’s war was premeditated & unprovoked. He rejected efforts at diplomacy. He thought the West & @NATO wouldn’t respond. And, he thought he could divide us here at home.
Putin was wrong. We were ready."
.@VP@KamalaHarris: For the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating Asian-Americans. People with the biggest pulpits spreading this kind of hate.
.@VP@KamalaHarris: A harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us.
The president and I will not be silent. We will not stand by. We will always speak out against violence, hate crimes & discrimination, wherever and whenever it occurs.
