Dr. Justina Ford was a local hero in Denver who overcame barriers to become CO’s first Black woman to work as a licensed doctor. Let's celebrate her 150th birthday by rededicating ourselves to her life’s cause and working to ensure that everyone has access to the care they need.

Celebrate Colorado’s pioneering Black doctor on the new Dr. Justina Ford Day this January
Family physician Dr. Danyaal Raza gives three examples of the confusing and sometimes contradictory messaging in the stay-at-home order announced by Ont. Premier Doug Ford on Jan. 12:
WATCH LIVE | Ontario Premier Doug Ford is joined by Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, Solicitor General Sylvia Jones and Dr. David Williams, Chief Medical Office of Health to make an announcement on Jan. 12, 2021.
Dr. Barbara Yaffe says the current lockdown measures weren't enough to slow the spread, we're in an even more serious situation now, and need more serious measures. (Ford announcing new measures at 1pm)

I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!
I got the polygraph test Dr. Ford took showing truthfulness about her account in the record. To quote a judge: “law enforcement agencies use polygraphs to test the credibility of witnesses” & the tests “serve law enforcement purposes.” That judge was Brett Kavanaugh in 2016 case.
Dr. Ford has passed a polygraph test and given the Committee the results. Judge Kavanaugh has not. She has called for outside witnesses to testify. Judge Kavanaugh has not. She called for an FBI investigation. Judge Kavanaugh has not.
It took great courage for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to come forward with her story. The American people are owed a thorough investigation of the grave & credible allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. RETWEET if you agree Senate Republicans must #PostponeTheVote
Moments ago I walked out of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Kavanaugh. This hearing is a sham and Dr. Ford and the American people deserve better.
President Trump, Dr. Blasey Ford did not want her story of sexual assault to be public. She requested confidentiality and I honored that. It wasn’t until the media outed her that she decided to come forward. You may not respect women and the wishes of victims, but I do.
Lying to the FBI is a crime. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford wants to talk to the FBI. Brett Kavanaugh doesn’t want to talk to the FBI. Kavanaugh’s friend & witness Mark Judge doesn’t want to talk to the FBI. They all know lying to the FBI is a crime.
