Today is #WorldAIDSDay, when we remember the tens of thousands in Chicago & tens of millions around the world who are living w HIV or have died of AIDS. Here's my latest in @sciam on our many pandemics. I'll be on @democracynow later in the hour to discuss https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/world-aids-day-is-a-grim-reminder-that-we-have-many-pandemics-going-on/
Up now on @democracynow is @DrChrisMD. It is heartbreaking hearing about the story of her father, who had an extraordinary life before he died of COVID.
"It is so important to put a face to this epidemic [and] to this science," she says.

. @DrChrisMD's sister ALSO had COVID & her cousin died of COVID, and Dr. Pernell chose to enter a trial for a vaccine. As a public health physician, she knew it was "important for Black and brown" patients to be a part of trials.
Now, @DrMonicaPeek on the @democracynow, just south of @NorthwesternU at @UChicago, talking about how to vaccinate vulnerable populations. Should we pay people to get vaccinated?
Love that DN is having 3 Black doctors on today who are all dedicated to ending health disparities

Here's a clip of my conversation with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzales https://twitter.com/democracynow/status/1333772666155700236
When does racial representation *really* matter?
When folks are committed to racial justice.
Which is all to say, I was honored @democracynow had three Black doctors—two MD/MPHs ( @DrChrisMD & @DrMonicaPeek) & one PhD (
)—on to discuss COVID & AIDS on #WorldAIDSDay
