Our RA patients are susceptible to a dangerous virus which runs rampant, but won't take the vaccine.
Why won't patients have their flu shot? @McGillMed 40% hesitant despite public funding. Multiple levels influence; if we don't address, our pts suffer!

Coal mining is associated with developing RA, but what is it about it?
It's the silica. The more silica and the longer exposed, the more likely. Hopefully, one day, we'll get be able to prevent this...
