A flyer from the AAP which lists 9 pediatric social media follows.

This list from the AAP on pediatricians to follow for trustworthy content is great but also missing @drelizabethmurray.bsky.social, @shematologist.medsky.social, @oligoclonalband.medsky.social, and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social.

It's too biased towards Instagram creators IMO.

Only 26% of Americans say they "somewhat" trust RFK Jr's medical advice. The rest do not.

‘People will die because of this’: How RFK Jr. drove out the CDC’s senior leaders On the same day Susan Monarez was fired, four of the agency’s top leaders quit.

New: In 7 months, Kennedy has broken the CDC, perhaps irreparably. For all he’s done with mass firings, gutting expertise, and attacking vaccines, Wednesday’s loss of its most senior and competent leaders—truly the CDC’s backbone—is the most consequential attack yet.

JAMA Research Letter: Trends in US & International Medical Graduates at County Level. Figure 1 shows unadjusted mean physician count for USMGs/IMGs (2010-2022). USMG count higher than IMG. National mean count for both graduates increasing with time.
