My whole house has COVID. We're vaccinated (except the baby), we take precautions, both my wife and I work in controlled environments. Still glad we got the vaccine.
"Then why bother getting vaccinated?" You know what? Glad you asked. Pull up a chair. Let's discuss #COVID19 1/🧵
Fundamental law of the universe is that the odds of any event occurring are between 0 and 100. *Nothing* is certain, but it's a good idea to take calculated efforts that can reduce risk.
It's about risk reduction, not a silver bullet for perfect prevention. 2/

Okay. Initially bit my tongue but after seeing this for a 2nd time, let's have it.
This ego-driven, self-adulating, horseshit of an excuse for comedy will likely prevent more vaccinations than it produces. Why?
B/c the vaccine-hesitant are not anti-vaxxers. 🧵/1
Simply put, imagine going to a doctor's office and expressing concern about the vaccine, or a treatment, or a procedure. - "Doctor, I'm a little nervous about the side effects."
"JuSt ShUt ThE F**k Up AnD dO iT!"
Forget about poor messaging, it's straight up unprofessional. /2

It’s been a difficult week.
But, rather than publicly air my grievances, I’d like to share w/ you the kindness strangers offered us the day we brought our daughter home.
I hope our story uplifts you, and reminds you there is goodness to be had in this world.
A thread... /1
Not too long ago, my wife and I boarded a @SouthwestAir flight with our recently adopted infant daughter.
W/ clearance to return home to California, my wife carried our precious bundle, while I offered numerous apologies to passengers while maneuvering the aisle with 4 bags. /2

1/ The #HAES and @WtMgmtDPG debate at #FNCE today impacted me more than I realized, so please allow me to share what has been bouncing around inside my head for the last few hours - Another perspective that may have been missed.
2/ This "debate" seems multi-layered and hard to pin down, but one of the most controversial points, as far as I understand it, is to argue which of the following is worse - the state of being obese, or the stigma that can be attached to it? #FNCE
