“Society cannot function if it is every man for himself. By definition, civilization cannot survive that.” -John Barry from “The Great Influenza.” Vaccinate all your patients, & don’t forget to hold MTX for 2wks after the flu vaccine! #ACR20 @RheumNow @CCalabreseDO @LCalabreseDO https://t.co/IdQ4Zyhq69

Rheumies, why should we especially vaccinate our pts with the flu vaccine? 1. Our pts have a higher risk for influenza 2. Our pts have greater morbidity & prolonged viral shedding 3. Vaccination is protective both serologically & clinically #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/PJCxczJiKg

Fauci: Common endpoints, common parameters provide "bridge" between #COVID19 vaccine trials. "We are cautiously optimistic" for a vaccine "by the end of the calendar year" because of favorable animal studies, though distribution will be later #ACR20 @Rheumnow. https://t.co/vPLEYiGKam

Inflammation is not a single entity, and the imperative to dissect it carefully is so great in irAEs - in both treatment and measurement. "I'm attempting to stir the pot" - @LCalabreseDO - and there really is plenty to think about. https://t.co/8C6RbMI2l9
