I'm married to a pediatrician and I love the AAP and also it's gotta bug them that they constantly have to write op-eds like "it is bad to put children into concentration camps, actually." And "It is bad to let children get vaccine preventable illnesses that kill or maim them."

The Trump administration’s race to control the narrative around the killing of Alex Pretti underscores what has become a pattern to justify an increasingly violent crackdown: immediately going on the offensive and demonizing the victim, often distorting the facts in the process.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

NYT: Federal Agents Kill a 37-Year-Old Minneapolis Man The victim was an American citizen with no criminal record who had a firearms permit, the city police chief said. Videos of the encounter contradict the federal government's description of the shooting, a New York Times analysis found.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Every single one of the vaccines “no longer universally” recommended today, is something I have seen kids in the ICU for, several of which I’ve seen die despite heroic efforts by the #PedsICU team. Freed up beds allowed us to advance other care for children, accommodating return of vanquished
