As someone born & raised in Odessa for roughly 1/3 of my life, who spent the other 2/3 in America, I know that most people don’t know much about Ukraine - which I get, I have many blind spots, so I thought I’d tweet some little basic things in case it helps make it real 🧵

I think we all need to be UNDAUNTED in our efforts to get UNINDICTED recognized by the #SpellingBee; maybe it's time to send a nonillion tomtits to @thegridkid's office?
Hello @nytimes Spelling Bee and @thegridkid The ghost of Richard Nixon wants an explanation: if “unindicted” isn’t a word, he’d like his presidency back

My fan-fiction CDC statement:
Dear America,
We now have enough data to say that the vaccines are highly effective at preventing transmission as well as severe outcomes. This is great news!
Most people who are fully vaccinated can feel confident their level of protection.

This begs the question: Why haven’t we created a bipartisan commission to investigate what happened, just as we did for the September 11th attacks?

We have so much to look forward to as we work to get Americans vaccinated against #COVID19, but right now I am alarmed to see cases climbing. We do not have the luxury of inaction. Each of us must do all we can to #StopTheSpread of the virus and prevent a fourth surge.

As a wife, mother, daughter, physician & CDC Director, I ask you to hold on a little while longer. We are almost there, but not quite yet. Continue using #COVID19 prevention methods & get vaccinated when you can so that you and others will still be here once this pandemic ends.

Our hearts are with the families of the AAPI women slain yesterday. Hatred is infectious and cumulative - it begins w pejoratives about race and evolves into acts of unspeakable violence. We must do more than condemn. Our responsibility is to protect and defend. By word and deed.
