Thanks to @PressSec for saying this directly: “LGBTQI+ kids are resilient. They are fierce. They fight back. They’re not going anywhere. And we have their back. This administration has their back.” There is nothing wrong with being gay, trans or queer.

Today I visited @ChildrensNatl and learned about their Youth Pride Clinic. Research shows that 1/4 of #LGBTQ patients who faced discrimination postpone or avoid needed medical care—this is unacceptable. That's why specialized clinics w/ comprehensive & affirming care are critical

Transphobia and homophobia are public health issues. Many kinds of hate continue to produce violence in our society, and we need to take those risks seriously. Instead of wishing that this would end, we need to work together to end it.

Great to be in Baltimore today. Started with a meeting @MDHealthDept Secretary Herrera Scott. When state governments and the Federal government work together, we are able to create and provide better solutions for the communities we serve.

Hope shines a little brighter – having a #COVID19 vaccine that is safe & effective for adolescents is a significant step towards helping us all return to our lives and helping our youth return to school safely.

I want to emphasize this message from @AAPNews related to #COVID . Don't be afraid to take your child to the doctor if you are worried your child is sick, especially with high fevers and rash. And also don't miss recommended #vaccines !

Thank you to everyone for sharing your Long COVID experiences this morning at @YaleLawSch . The @CDCgov -funded INSPIRE study is doing good work to understand #LongCOVID patients. As one patient said, “Someone walks in on crutches, you see what’s wrong. Nobody sees my symptoms.”

Truth is #HPV vaccine is extremely safe, and prevents tens of thousands of horrible, deadly cancers each year. HPV vaccine is indicated as a routine vaccine for all boys and girls. Don't listen to fake news from anti-vax propagandists and foreign trolls.

Happy Intersex Awareness Day! Did you know #intersex people are the nearly 2% of the population with natural variations in their sex traits or reproductive anatomy? Not everyone is born neatly into male or female boxes, and that’s perfectly okay. #BornBeyondBoxes
