The American Academy of Pediatrics spends a lot of energy refuting disinfo about this legitimate diagnosis.

Today I’ve had patients positive for Flu A, Flu B, Covid and RSV. All in one day. All very miserably ill.
Please get vaccinated if you’re not all ready.

We started working on this manuscript in…wait for it…2019!! The idea was to look at publication bias by gender of authors, and we were lucky one of the top surgical journals in the world agreed to give us their data, not just for what was published, but for what was *submitted*. +

RFK Jr asking FFA to revoke approval of polio vaccine

A few weeks before the election I posted about my concerns about RFK Jr getting rid of vaccines and was yelled at by a ton of accounts on Twitter saying he’d never do that, he was against vaccine mandates, not vaccines.

Oh how I wish they’d been right.

I love medical students.

Student presenting to me this afternoon:
Patient has had vomiting, diarrhea, and significant flatulence for the past three days. The last of which was….notable…during the exam today.

🤣🤣🤣

Can we talk about what an extreme honor it is when a former patient chooses you to be their new child’s pediatrician?? 😍

(And no, I can’t possibly be old enough for this to happen yet…😭🤣)

YouTube video by vlogbrothers Populism, Media Revolutions, and Our Terrible Moment

This is one of those videos that you could work on forever, but suddenly it felt very important to make it, so I finally did: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Pn...

Brilliant observation by @maxkennerly.bsky.social to a whole pot-full of parboiled frogs.

Watching Willy Wonka with my 5 year old daughter, and when the bad guy propositioned Charlie to steal a gobstopper, I asked her what she thought and she said
“NO! I don’t trust him! I would punch him in the balls and call 911!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I guess I don’t have to worry about her?

Excellent thread

6/ So it astounds me how people online with no medical expertise or experience dole out (often bad) medical advice without feelin a kernel of responsibility. I see this done in parenting groups but also in political parties. Do they have any idea how their advice impacts real patients?

What to know about Transgender Day of Remembrance and violence against trans people Vigils and other events are being held to draw attention to transgender people who have lost their lives due to violence in the past year.

“The Williams Institute at UCLA Law estimates that 1.6 million people in the U.S. ages 13 and older identify as transgender. And it says transgender people are over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violence, including rape and assault.”

Anyone else remember when Dr. Oz said that it was fine for 2–3% of schoolchildren to die?

Yeah, he’s in charge of Medicaid and Medicare now.

Surely I misheard. There’s no way Dr. Oz, the OG grifter, president of grift university, has been tapped to lead the largest and most influential US healthcare entity.

So the slimiest, lying, most selfish “doctors“ on social media have now been granted control of healthcare in America. They’re being rewarded for being awful human beings. So many Americans, and so many children in particular, are going to be so desperately hurt by these choices.

Doctors who sanewashed and legitimized RFK for their monetized substacks will be known for that and only that the rest of their careers.

Nothing they did before or after will matter.

Anyone here with an MD title in their name coming to the defense of RFK Jr is someone who has zero interest in evidence-based medicine, public health, or safety and they should be blocked immediately.

Survivors for Trauma-Informed Ethical Standards in Human Trafficking Journalism

What does trauma-informed reporting look like and why is it important?

What might solutions journalism look like when reporting on human trafficking stories?

Imagery, videos, and photos when reporting human trafficking stories

Today I got to guest lecture and teach a class of journalism students who asked such thoughtful questions. The Survivors for Trauma-Informed Ethical Standards in Human Trafficking Journalism curriculum was developed by survivors and we’re excited to do a more formal launch in January

Hi!

The American Academy of Pediatrics is collecting stories from physicians about patients we have cared for with vaccine preventable diseases to help in their advocacy against RFK’s confirmation.
