2020
Unforgettable 2020 has been an unforgettable year. Natural disasters, stock market crashes, a mutated virus causing the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns, quarantines, oil price wars, conspiracy theories, black holes, artificial intelligence, human rights marches, novel vaccines, and 1.8 million pandemic related deaths worldwide…
The year has been tumultuous, but the resilience of mankind does shine through. Science prevails. The year has seen record breaking times to create diagnostic tests, protocols for safety, and a vaccine. We have been fortunate to be able to do what we love most – practice medicine and help people during a time like this. We are privileged to be able to work and be part of the healing for so many. I joined CCMA because I see the importance of scientists and doctors having a strong, clear, and unified voice. Decisions around science and medicine need to come from us. I hope to be a liaison for your concerns and needs so we don’t fall into bureaucratic nexuses. Some goals for the year will include supporting science, our public health department, and physician and patient rights. I look forward to 2021, a year of hope and progress. Stay blessed, Priti Gagneja, MD
