During the peak of the omicron wave, about 1,000 kids were being hospitalized daily. That’s when Prasad wrote this. He said it was “reckless” to prevent covid in kids. More…

Should we let children catch Omicron? Restrictions in schools must never return

“However, it has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,” Marks wrote. That’s how you write a fucking resignation letter.

“Vulnerable”, “discounted” and “used as pawns”,……. always. Pediatricians telling it like it is. 😞

Good news! The CDC Fluview map is still active and getting updated (there were concerns it might have gotten purged). Bad news! Flu is everywhere.

A Map of the US with states in various colors indicating flu levels. Several states are dark red and some are purple indication very high flu activity.

Influenza has officially entered the chat this year in #pediatrics & the miserable-feeling sick kids w/high fevers are rolling in. CDC reports ⬇️ numbers of children vaccinated this year (~37%) vs last year (~44%). Children died from flu last year. It’s not too late to protect your kids. #pedsky

"The louder that we can be about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines the better” -me, on Fox5 DC yesterday Let’s continue to flood both broadcast and digital with legitimate science about vaccines and drown out as much online misinformation as possible.

Most Americans are not getting vaccinated this year, CDC says

Alarming data from the CDC suggests that most people, especially children, are not getting vaccinated against the Flu, Covid-19, and RSV.

The idea that I should alter my practice based on an arbitrary decision by an insurance company is an insult to my education, training, and expertise.

Everything that is happening with the new Trump administration is to scare you. To make you want to put your head under the covers and never surface. Do not. You are needed. Because they are going to face a resistance they were not prepared for. No more playing around. 🖖

With Dr. Mehmet Oz pegged to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, it's a good time to remind people that he once said this 👇 As a medical historian, I can say that this is quite literally medieval.

A tweet from Dr. Oz in which he claims that a person's astrological sign can reveal "a great deal about [their] health."

10.3 million cases of measles occurred worldwide last year, up 20% from 2022, primarily because of inadequate immunization coverage. The disease resulted in 107,500 deaths last year, mostly killing children under 5!!!! There are no upsides to shunning vaccines. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/...

Surge in worldwide measles cases driven by lack of vaccine coverage, WHO says

The WHO and CDC say there were about 10.3 million cases of measles last year, up 20 percent from 2022. Children are especially susceptible to complications.

The CDC is one of the reasons that most people don’t die from the foods in their homes. I don’t think we appreciate how this kind of warning that most of us don’t really pay much mind to could literally be the difference between life and death.
