Love @ekvraga pointing out the utility of "observed correction" - you may not convince the person spreading the misinformation but there are others watch & they can learn & benefit from a public, empathetic, well-explained response. I've seen it happen!! #CROI2023

"If I can't easily find what I'm looking for through credible sources, I'm more willing to trust whoever will tell me what I want to know," says @ekvraga, highlighting how many steps it took to find out how to get a booster for her child.

Misinformation and disinformation kill, literally. Since widespread availablity of vaccines _half_ of US #COVID19 deaths were preventable. So yes, this is a public health issue and problem. And information can make that difference!

Last day and no dresses because the weather outside is frightful! Also, I only had two dresses.
A bit harder to spot today but would still love to meet people, come say hi! #CROI2023
Well, I didn't have "mini blizzard" on my #CROI2023 bingo card! 🤷🏻‍♀️🌨️❄️

Keeping an eye out for me today (Tuesday) at #CROI2023? Here's what to look for! The red boots should make it easy! 😁👠

(The dress is another @Bodenclothing classic for those interested!)

Be sure to hike up to floor 5, ballroom 2 at #CROI2023 at 4pm for a fantastic #HIV/#SARSCoV2 session with @MichaelWorobey & @PaulBieniasz - come join the discussion!

I'm not great at recognising people on a good day, but the masks at #CROI2023 (though a great idea) are upping the challenge to a whole new level.

If you're looking for me today, here's what to look for!
If you want to come say hi, I might have a cool sticker for you! 😁🌳

At #CROI2023 Yvette Raphael demands PrEP for black women, better allies from the scientific community, & states:
"HIV strategies are never for women. They are for the fetus, for the men, for the population, but never just for us."
"Trust black woman. Trust communities."
