Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 26/01/2026This is long standing, going back to when my siblings were born 35-40 years ago at least. My mom was in the home birth world. And even though our pediatrician made a house call and administered vitamin K to my siblings, there was a lot of skepticism about it in those circles. 000
Reposted by Jessica Fairley, MD, MPHHelen Branswell 🇨🇦 @helenbranswell.bsky.social · 06/01/20261. #CDC posted new #flu data today. A 🧵 Another pediatric death was reported in the 2024-25 flu season, making it the deadliest flu season for kids since CDC started collecting this data point 20 years ago. 2024-25 has surpassed the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. 9 kids have died from flu so far this year. 112772
Reposted by Jessica Fairley, MD, MPHPatrick Hickey, MD @pwhickey.bsky.social · 06/01/2026For my Pediatrics and Family Medicine colleagues- As someone who did a stint as both ward attending and ID consult attending over Christmas, I was struck by the number of infants, children, and teens that I cared for with severe influenza and complicated pneumonias. Most not vaccinated vs Flu. 310521
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Thx, this strengthens my resolve in many of the same areas. When it gets hard career-wise, it reminds me to return to the needs of those I care for: my kids, my patients, and my mentees. I’m also reading Jane Goodall’s book “Hope”. It inspires us to Hope with action - this will be my 2026 mantra. 130

Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 17/10/2025🤣🤣 I wish I remembered the actual songs on my 2 recent planes. My kiddo was like, “I like this music”. All I kept thinking about was “I feel like I’m in Bridgerton” 120
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 15/10/2025I had the same thought on my Delta flight this morning. 110
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 08/10/2025I’m an HD physician and I will stick with my clofazimine based WHO regimen until there is a published RCT of RMM. Not enough evidence and there appears to be growing evidence that it is associated w/ type 2 reactions, which has been my experience. Hyperpigmentation is not that bad at 50 mg. 020
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 06/09/2025I too was very emotional. Within a week after my husband and I got our second shots (as physicians so January 2021) my nanny and my three kids got Covid. And my husband and I did not. Just amazing what hope they brought and disease / death they have prevented. 130
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Ive heard if you try the actual cvs minute clinic it has worked in our neck of the words. Not the pharmacy. 120

Reposted by Jessica Fairley, MD, MPHBK. Titanji @boghuma.bsky.social · 12/08/2025They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug. 18155542056
Reposted by Jessica Fairley, MD, MPHAlt CDC (they/them) @altcdc.altgov.info · 10/08/2025This was an attack on a federal institution. An attack BECAUSE it is Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This was domestic terrorism. Why isn’t it getting more press coverage? Some coverage, not enough. Domestic. Terrorism. 612185659
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 11/08/2025Not enough media attention. This was so unbelievably scary. The fact that more people were not killed is really incredible. I drive through that intersection multiple times a week. There’s always cars and pedestrians especially around 5. And this photo is terrifying. 050
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Literally thought the same thing moments ago. I have most of both the pediatric and adult memorized anyways, but definitely need to save a copy. 000
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 12/06/2025My then toddler was the most non-plussed about wearing a mask compared to my other kids and adults I knew. She would forget she had it on long after we were home, back in the car, etc… and she totally understood the assignment - protect ourselves and protect others. 1141
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 11/05/2025Agree! I was totally shocked in a good way. 010

Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Options… hubby has EU citizenship and kids eligible for that as well. 120
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 19/03/2025I also recently realized that I’m eligible through my dad, who passed away when we were young. My brother was the guinea pig and applied for citizenship about a year ago and he just got official word last month that it went through. Now the rest of us are applying. 140
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Philanthropies and sensible billionaires need to step up and fund these students and researchers. Not to let NIH and the government off the hook but to at least bridge the gap. 130
Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Several of my boomer aunts / uncles have gone from pretty conservative republican to progressive democrats. And my liberal mom has gone even further left. I’m about as progressive as I was 30 years ago, so stayed about the same. But not much farther left to go. 080

Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH @fairleyinfectious.bsky.social · 05/03/2025 My mom, who is blind with a guide dog, has had Ubers just drive right by and cancel when they see her. Awful thing is that she doesn’t always know right away, although she can usually tell. 1110
