Excited to share the 1st of my profile series on health tech's "gatekeepers" – the people who decide what promising ideas actually get deployed in health. First is @ycombinator health care partner @SurbhiSarnaSF: statnews.com/2023/08/01/ycom…

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.

I had a patient in clinic the other day in misery with severe, disfiguring hives. H1 blockers weren't working. Xolair incredibly difficult to take. Wouldn't it be nice to have a pill that worked better? Good luck, 3HB! endpts.com/audentes-old-ceo-…

Graph (by credible source; prefers anonymity) vividly shows value of vaccines for both individuals & states, since 7/1.
