Parotitis

Day 6! And it’s the oft forgotten mumps. See below for the DL and think about mumps in addition to salivary stones causing parotitis. #vaccineswork #PedSky #IDSky #MedSky

Also, the reason it’s called the “100 day cough” is because the bordetella pertussis bacteria destroys the cilia lining the airways, and it takes that long for the cilia to grow back. #VaccinesWork #VaccinesSaveLives

I’ve personally diagnosed multiple whooping cough cases in the past few months, in multiple states. The cough sounds like in the video, and the kids are suffering, non-stop coughing, and struggling to catch their breath/to breathe. It’s awful.

I’ve been told some academic centers are telling their faculty not to speak up. In case anyone was wondering, injustice has never been overcome through silence. You can choose to speak up, or you can be complicit in the oppression.

Everyone has a choice. May we all choose wisely.
