The launch of the new season just might push me into commuting to work again. #drivetime #podcast
Just a little last-minute market research before the launch of the new season of Revisionist History.
regardless of where you land on this topic, issues management and crisis comms teams are put to an epic test here.
The last time I mistakenly took that call, I asked the caller for their name and SS# to prove they were legit. They so craftily said that they were my father. Click
Man it's such a bummer when your phone rings after you've just sent an email to someone you really hope gets back to you, and you don't know the number so you hope it's them, and you pick up excitedly only to find it's a scammer saying your social security # has been compromised.

Truth! 🙌

At least you can always be the Spark!
I was the Spark first. But not sure I have a claim in this fight. @AmberTongPW
Spark Therapeutics, which is now a subsidiary of Roche, has sued bluebird for trademark infringement — through a promotional campaign around its experimental treatment for sickle cell disease where the word “spark” features prominently. endpts.com/be-the-spark-roch…

"Boyz II Men(in): Pass You By" is a follow up to "Doin' Just Fine" and "The Exclusive Interview" Boyz II Men(in) reports also by Jonathan Chang @SVBLeerink Never skipped a beat... 🤯
Great use of digital, visual and written content to tell this story.
When do we think they’ll open up vaccinations to 55+? This group is in limbo.
100 million shots in 100 days will be completed this week instead of April 30th (we're at 97 million administered; tomorrow is 50 days) —Now 1 in 4 adults, 61% ≥ 65 year olds have had at least 1 dose —At current 2.2M/d, would be >210 M shots in 100 days (+ hope we can rev up)
Public companies need to be comfortable building and tapping into a deep tool chest of communications tactics to reach investors. This goes beyond retail. More than just PRs, conference calls and PowerPoints. #investorrelations #IR #communications @NIRI_National @WSJ

Moms cousin finally discharged after 30 days in ICU with Covid. Learning to walk and talk on his own again. That’s one strong hombre. 💪 Can’t #vaccinate fast enough.

Agree with this Right now, demand for vaccines >>> supply of vaccines That will stay true for all of February and much of March But by April, this will begin to change And by May, supply > demand in US By summer? supply >>> demand
I think it’s possible that by April, supply could outstrip demand. We should start to focus now on that challenge. By the end of March we’ll have put more than 250M doses into the market, assuming J&J gets authorized. Starting April, we’ll be producing at least 100M doses/month.

Family and friends continuously ask me to help filter the news to help make sense of it. I thought today’s @nytimes morning newsletter by @DLeonhardt was outstanding, and I shared it with as many as I could. He said what needed to be said. nytimes.com/2021/02/01/brief…

The Pharma industry can be fixated on efficacy endpoints as it should. There is rigor behind science.

But my parents are not concerned with efficacy rates of various #covid vaccines. They want to know what will keep them out of the hospital, what will prevent severe infections and death. The good news is there are now several options that do that. 👍💪
